As part of its program "Natur im Garten", the Province of Lower Austria is presenting the international garden design award best private plots - Die besten Gärten 2012 in recognition of excellence in the design of sustainable private outdoor spaces and gardens.
The subject of the competition is the design of sustainable gardens as private outdoor spaces blending architecture, ecology and landscape. Competition entries must be completed gardens that are clearly identifiable as intended for private residence and use.

Projects that can be submitted include roof gardens and terraces, extended living spaces, courtyard gardens, gardens, community gardens, landscape gardens, water gardens and projects for the extension or redesign of existing gardens.

Special attention will be paid to variety of uses and sustainability.
The award is presented both for new gardens and for garden interventions (extension or redesign of existing gardens).
