Over the last year, Pro Landscaper has celebrated numerous awards, been invited to several exciting events, as well as hosting the second Pro Landscaper on Tour. 

Here are the team’s top 10 highlights:

Pro Landscaper on Tour with Boom & Bonheur 

In September, Pro Landscaper hosted its second trip on tour, this time with Boom & Bonheur for a behind the scenes journey across its tree nurseries in Germany and The Netherlands. A cohort of select landscapes and garden designers accompanied the team to learn about the nursery’s 1,500 varieties of trees, its machinery and its background. 

Team at RHS show across the country

The Pro Landscaper team joined hundreds of keen garden lovers across the country on some of the biggest horticultural stages. From RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May, to RHS Malvern Spring Festival earlier the same month, to RHS Hampton Court Garden Festival in June and RHS Flower Show Wentworth Woodhouse later in July, 2025 saw a wide range of original designs.  

From feature gardens to borders, each show celebrated its designers and landscapers after months of hard work.

The biggest Royal Horticultural Society show of the year, RHS Chelsea Flower Show celebrated gardens battling HIV stigma, feminism and climate change fears.

Under the autumn sun, 120 guests from 23 countries gathered at La Lltja de Mar, a 14th century building fit with a courtyard readying to hear from inspirational voices across the industry. Highlights included speeches from Liverpool Football Club on its sustainability achievements, a dive into Barcelona’s nature plan and Husqvarna’s new product launches.
