GoLandscape - July update
College Meetings
The GoLandscape team met with Sinead Elford and Nir Halfon from Plumpton college, and Lesley Lane from Berkshire College of Agriculture to discuss how BALI can further support their horticulture and landscaping students. The colleges are keen to have guest speakers from industry to meet with their students and to promote their apprenticeship program to a wider audience.

Green Skills Sector Group
On 10 July, the GoLandscape team went to the Walkie Talkie building for a meeting with business leaders from various sectors and universities across the capital to discuss green careers and how we can encourage young people into job roles. GoLandscape also looked at how we can support schools to spread the message of green careers and the types of roles that are available. GoLandscape are committed to working to promote the landscaping and horticulture careers sector to young people from different social backgrounds.
RHS Flower Show Tatton Park
The GoLandscape Team were at RHS Tatton Park, supporting Accredited Contractor Grant Horticulture on their Silver-gilt award winning Show Garden The Grant Horticulture Arts & Crafts Garden. The show garden was a great success with lots of positive comments coming from the general public.
