This month’s issue is a special one, as Pro Landscaper celebrates 15 years since it was launched.
When we sent out our first issue, we had one important goal: to bring the industry together. Achieving that goal has now gone far beyond the pages of a magazine. Over the last 15 years, we’ve been lucky enough to build up an incredible network of experts, many of whom we can genuinely call our friends. With the support and guidance of the industry, we’ve created a community that continues to grow and evolve. We’re celebrating our journey with special features throughout the magazine, including a timeline of some of the highlights of which many of you will have played a part.
The September issue is also our Public Spaces Special, where we explore how green space is transforming our towns and cities. Whether for flood reduction, heat mitigation, commercial value, people’s health and wellbeing, or biodiversity, the benefits are almost endless.
As we look ahead to the next 15 years, we will continue to make Pro Landscaper, quite frankly, all about you. We have been, and always will be, for the industry, by the industry.
