We are proud to announce that our Director of Landscape Architecture, Jennette Emery-Wallis, has been made a Fellow of the Landscape Institute.

Jennette is a landscape architect with over 25 years’ experience. She has produced award-winning work on numerous complex design projects, producing well-thought-out and creative solutions. Projects include the restoration of Russell Square, Bloomsbury; The Temperate House, Royal Botanic Gardens Kew; and a number of schemes within The Royal Parks.

Concerned about health and wellbeing, particularly in children, Jennette has also led the way in designing active, playful spaces. Her work as the designer of the Diana, Princess of Wales memorial playground, Kensington Gardens (2000), is multi-award winning, and some 20 years later is recognised as being at the vanguard of today’s global natural play movement. Her work at Tumbling Bay, QEOP, for the LLDC has won numerous awards including Civic Trust; Selwyn Goldsmith universal access awards, and the NLAs Mayor’s Best Public Space (2013).

As a Fellow, Jennette now has a voice in how the Institute is run – through voting at Annual General Meetings, Extraordinary General Meetings, and LI Elections, standing for elected positions and committee membership. Jennette is also an LI Ambassador for Landscape.

Jennette said: “It’s an honour to be recognised by the LI, and I very much look forward to playing an active part in the Institute and the wider profession.”
