Details
Develop your design strategy for creating rich, bio-diverse gardens and public spaces with leading experts in the field. LCGD London and LCGD Melbourne are delighted to offer the first in a new series of conference days looking to the future of garden and landscape design.

We have brought together 4 speakers that are experts in their fields to discuss what sustainability really means for garden designers and landscape architects in practice. The day aims to cover many of the key challenges for designers. It will explain useful tools and develop ideas covering specifying, sourcing and use of materials and the impact that planting design can have on our work to create rich, biodiverse gardens and public spaces.

We will start at 10am and finish around 4pm with refreshment breaks. In the spirit of our chosen subject the day will run remotely via online webinar and you will be sent an access code before the event.

The webinar will be hosted by London College of Garden Design (LCGD) and as such, a discount is available to current LCGD students and LCGD Graduates.  Please email me if you fall within this category and I will send out a promotional code that you may use upon booking.  For others, there's the Early Bird Discount.
