Our nation’s biosecurity is, if you’ll pardon the pun, under the microscope, and justifiably so. As we continue to tackle the climate crisis and decline in biodiversity, what we plant and where has become of increasing importance. Does the answer lie in the diversification of planting pallets, or should the focus lie in strengthening our national staples?
Nurseries up and down the country are on the front line of this, and that is why we’re shining a spotlight on them with Pro Landscaper’s Most Influential – the winners of which can be found in our dedicated Biosecurity Special.

Public Spaces Special
Public spaces are vital for urban well-being, offering mental, physical, and social benefits. As Jane Findlay notes, they are “sanctuaries for urban populations.” They also provide essential opportunities for children to connect with nature through active play, as highlighted by Adam White.
However, not everyone can access these spaces. The Sensory Trust stresses the need for diverse feedback to ensure inclusivity, while Make Space for Girls shares how it is working on challenging outdated norms to create inclusive and welcoming spaces for women and young girls.
