- Andrew Wilson from the London College of Garden Design
- Nicole Brown from Huskisson Brown
- Landscape Institute President Elect Jane Findlay, from FIRA
- Dan Hitch from WATG
- Armel Mourgue and Eugenia Grilli from Gillespies
This year’s topic is Things that make me go ‘wow!’. Join us for a complimentary drink from 5.15pm on Tuesday 17 September at the Central Bar Area.
Seminar programme
Also taking place at LANDSCAPE 2019 is a seminar programme that aims to be its most diverse and inspiring yet. Since the 2018 Show, the team at LANDSCAPE has been working to build a seminar programme that anyone can enjoy and learn from, regardless of their area of interest or expertise.
LANDSCAPE monitors landscape industry trends to ensure its seminar programme remains relevant to practitioners. Paul Lincoln, the LI’s executive creative director and managing editor of the LI journal, will host Carolyn Willitts’s and Andrew Wilson’s Planting and Landscape Design seminar session on Tuesday 17 September. LANDSCAPE is also excited to welcome speakers including Cleve West, Andrew Fisher Tomlin, Robert Myers, Arit Anderson, Helen Elks-Smith, Rosemary Coldstream, John Wyer and Philippa O’Brien to Battersea Park this September.
Meet the Designer
Also returning to this year’s show are the ‘Meet the Designer’ sessions. If you’ve ever wondered how the biggest names in landscaping got to where they are today, this is your opportunity to find out about the lives of some leading garden designers.
This year’s prestigious line-up features Jonathan Snow, Charlotte Rowe, Kate Gould and James Alexander-Sinclair. The Meet the Designer sessions will be held on Wednesday 18 September at the Central Bar between 11:15am and 3:15pm.
