12 Days of Christmas: November 2022
Pro Landscaper reflects on a challenging yet productive year for the industry
FutureScape’s tenth anniversary delivered the most successful iteration yet, with thousands of visitors attending the event at the ExCeL London on 15 and 16 November. Three new seminar theatres were added to the 2022 event – the Lighting Zone, the Urban Greening Zone in association with Maylim, and the Training, Education and Employment Village in association with GoLandscape.
In Pro Landscaper’s November 2022 edition, Christopher Martin explored how we can create public spaces for those with autism, while Noel Kingsbury asked whether we could think more radically about large-scale planting. Our penultimate issue of the year also marked the British Association of Landscape Industries’ 50th anniversary.
