Whether they’re coming over on imported plants, blowing over the channel, or finding the changing climate to be a perfect breeding ground it’s fair to say that pests and diseases are a threat to the UK. But the industry is working hard to mitigate these risks, and we dedicate the June issue to exploring how it’s doing this.
The June issue also couldn’t pass by without reviewing the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show. We celebrate the award-winners, take a look at some of the sustainable landscaping innovations and explore what’s next for the show in Project Giving Back’s final year.
We’ve got lots more plans for future issues, but as always, we want them to include you. So please do reach out if you have ideas, want to see yourself in this magazine, or simply want to say hello.
