Registration is open for Europe’s premier trade event for interior & exterior landscaping! From country homes to city apartments, from urban lofts and public spaces to luxury hotels…..the indoor-outdoor phenomenon affects all types of living spaces. The boundaries have been broken. With weather proof rugs, outdoor kitchens, showers on the terrace and sofas in the garden, the indoor spirit is flowing through our outdoor spaces and creating a new focus for architecture and technology. The only trade event dedicated to qualified landscape designers & contractors, architects, local authority landscaping professionals, facilities managers and interior designers from all over the UK and beyond. It is a platform for them to network and source market leading products to use in high end projects worldwide. Across all seasons we are mixing things together and bringing the outside in and taking the inside out. Free CPD Accredited Seminars LANDSCAPE is again delighted to host an entirely FREE seminar programme of truly international standing with some of the most prestigious names in the industry featuring over 50 different speakers. We have some of the biggest names in the industry already confirmed talking about the topics and projects that are making a real difference. Exhibitors LANDSCAPE exhibitors include manufacturers and suppliers of everything from vases, pots and flag stones to furniture and conservatories, water features and sundials. Our exhibitors provide architectural iron work, planters, sheds and turf; they supply sculpture, soil, plants and paving as well as lighting, heating, trees and tools. LANDSCAPE New Starters Conference The Youth Conference will start at 11am and finish at 1pm. Our collective aim is to get 10 different speakers talking for 10 minutes each, with differing viewpoints and job skills, who will talk to the students about how they got started and why they chose their respective paths. There will be additional input from Trade Associations on career paths available and study options. Best in Show This year all exhibitors get the chance to submit a product to be rated ‘Best In Show’. A short list 84 will be selected by our speakers, media partners and trade associations which will then be voted for by the visitors themselves. The winner will be announced on the afternoon of the last day of the show. This is a great extra promotional opportunity for the finalists. Visitors Our international visitors to the show include Landscape Designers & Contractors, Architects, Facilities Managers, Groundsmen & Parks Officers, Event Florists, Creative Directors, Garden Centres, Contract Gardeners, Hotels and Interior Designers.
