Launched in 2011 by b2b publishers Eljays44, Pro Landscaper has established itself as the UK’s leading business to business publication within the landscaping sector - it is the only media brand that pulls all sectors of the industry together.
The monthly magazine is content-driven, expertly designed and completely immersed in the industry that it represents. Pro Landscaper also publishes an array of in-depth supplements, covering geographic areas, major shows and events and more.
The magazine’s in-depth and inspirational content, paired with the brand’s affiliation with the leading associations, make Pro Landscaper a must read for landscape contractors and garden designers.
The magazine is supported by a daily-uploaded website, RU-vid channel and a host of social media profiles.
Pro Landscaper has firmly established itself as a reliable and informative read where it is equally at home on the site managers desk as it is on the coffee table of the landscape architect.
Thanks for sharing. Just added this video to Landscape Architecture TV for FutureScape USA MARCH 24, 2022 ATLANTA, GEORGIA. Hope it will help to attract more people :)
Loved the comments and reflections from Helen on the ageism in the industry. It is probably an attempt to tease the younger group into industry, fair enough, but the as mentioned many people get their chance only later during working life. We all know it has cost implication to get work experiences, internships, setting up the business, and clients. It is not easy for most people, I guess. The popularity is helpful, but often serves only PR of the well known shows and programmes, not the real industry. Not everyone can do the big budget gardens, and hire well known show appearing designer. That does not mean that people in background can not do good quality work. I like the suggestions to bring forward schemes for all ages of designers or builders of gardens. Life is limited and we all are worth a shot. Many thanks for these interviews.
Brilliant interview, Mark always seems very open and honest. Total credit to the industry. These interviews are so educational should have lots of views!
Great to see so many familiar faces in the video, but it might be a good idea to add a splash screen at the end to point out that: The next FutureScape exhibition will take place on 16 & 17 November 2021 at ExCeL London
Compulsive viewing for anyone interested in garden design or indeed any kind of design. Sarah Eberle won "Best in Show" at Chelsea 2007 (and was the last female designer to do so). Brilliant interview.
Great interview. A wonderful insight from Paul into designing and judging show gardens and also from Lewis about supplying plants for them. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot.
Excellent discussion. I think a lot of other industries may find this equally useful. It gives a good insight as to what stresses out workers confined at home and the anxiety that some workers may feel at going back to the office. Also some great advice from Angelina Sooren of Ground Control Ltd as to the potential health and safety issues as people return to normal activities
Some great insights into the landscaping industry from the panelists with a good mixture of career paths. There's some good pointers from Ross of Conquest Creative Spaces about the issues when setting up and growing your own business.
Great Video Post, thank you so much for taking the time to bring the Pro's together for this ongoing and growing debate. Really interesting insights into proven Laying techniques, removal and re-usage in an Eco Impact sense. When will Lightweight Steel Framing (LSF) exterior floor systems, manufactured and ready to accommodate outdoor porcelain tiles, push their way into the big debate?
Another great discussion. The issues about porcelain paving being seen as being "stain proof" (which it isn't) reminds me of the "waterproof watch" which is really water-resistant at a specific static depth or the "shatter-proof" plastic rulers which had to be re-branded as "shatter-resistant". As Jake Catling points out porcelain paving still needs cleaning and maintenance especially since it will show up tannin stains from fallen leaves.
I knew this would be a very entertaining and informative episode and I certainly wasn't disappointed. Very interesting to hear how David starting up his businesses.
I did enjoy the TV program btw. It's a shame that they mixed it up with very low budget project as well but seeing realistic costings has to be a help. Always an admirer of Helens work.
Excellent interview. Very well put points about the bias towards the 'young' in the industry which certainly does not make sense in the context of how many career changers enter the industry. I have to say that the 'people who lunch' do exist in the industry and some of them are men, some are women. A specific example, I won't name, was designer I spoke to at show, who was not interested in doing real gardens - they just wanted to do show gardens. I have also spoken to others who clearly where not in garden design to make a living, just as swanky hobby. That's really good for the industry of course.
Mark is a real professional , who sets the scene as well as the lead in the Horticultural Landscape Industry . His company not only leads in Landscaping but is Mr RHS with the plant world. A really nice person to know. Thank you for this video for these dark times, we all need someone to follow and lead out of COVID19.
