Q&S Commercial Landscapes will be joining the collaboration at New Scientist Live 2026, provisionally titled  “Roots for the future, skills for today”.

The initiative aims to challenge the public’s perception of horticulture and inspire the next generation.

Sue Payne, managing director for Quality & Service (Q&S) says,

“We are proud to support this important initiative. The landscape and horticulture sector has so much to offer from technical expertise and sustainability-led to scientific thinking with real-world impact. It is vital that we showcase these green skills and opportunities more effectively to the next generation.”

Other partners include Young People in Horticulture Association (YPHA), the Chartered Institute of Horticulture (CIH) Provender Nurseries, British Association of Landscape Industries (BALI), RBGE, Kew and Horticultural Trade Association (HTA).
