GoLandscape supporting the RHS

As part of our ongoing strategy to broaden the outreach of GoLandscape, the team have been actively supporting the RHS’s New Shoots initiaitve.

New Shoots is the RHS campaign dedicated to inspiring the next generation of horticultural talent. Like GoLandscape, New Shoots aims to give people information about careers in the sector and show that there is something for everyone, regardless of background or experience.

With so many common aims, our Careers and Skills Manager and Officer (Jonathan Pettit and Cheryl Ranner) have had meetings with the teams at New Shoots and RHS Bridgwater to discuss ways in which we can work together to effectively promote careers, skills and training in the horticulture and landscaping sectors.

At the end of April, GoLandscape, along with landscape businesses and training providers, attended the first New Shoots Green Careers Open Day at RHS Wisley. This was a hugely successful event attended by over 600 individuals who now have a better understanding of landscaping and the opportunities it offers for fulfilling and rewarding careers.

We are always looking for businesses to support our work and if you are interested, please visit the GoLandscape website to register your interest in becoming an Ambassador or to just show your support.
