Discovery Day
Find out more about career paths within the industry.

Thursday 28th September 2023 - NEC, Birmingham

Hosted on the second day of LANDSCAPE 2023, the Discovery Day aims to promote different career paths in the industry and to give those just starting out an insight into the opportunities available and ask questions from those that have done it all before!

Find out more about being a landscape architect, a garden designer, a television presenter, a grower, a contractor, a horticulturalist and more!

The day will provide the opportunity to listen to industry professionals being interviewed about how they got to where they are today. Short and incisive, with the opportunity to ask your own questions, there will be two panel discussions hosted by Adam from The Royal Parks Guild and Mollie from YPHA.

With a free packed lunch provided the day aims to give you an overview of opportunities.

It’s FREE to attend, simply register for LANDSCAPE and request to attend the Discovery Day on Thursday the 28th of September too!

LANDSCAPE 2023 is open from 10am until 5pm so you’ll have time to check out the exhibition before and after the panel sessions.

TELL YOUR LECTURER – bring your colleagues, bring a coach party!
