BITESIZE SUSTAINABILITY SERIES
INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABLE GARDEN DESIGN WITH PANEL Q&A
Rachel Bailey, Lucy Conochie, Gini Denison-Pender, Jane Heather, hosted by Joanna Archer
The team delivering the Bitesize Sustainability Webinars will introduce the main concepts underpinning a sustainable approach to garden design followed by a Q&A session. Each member of the panel will give a short presentation on a particular area/s within sustainable design, and share their approaches and strategies.
This session will take place ahead of a series of Bitesize Sustainability CPD for 2025 which aims to share information and knowledge about sustainable garden and landscape design approaches and construction methods, to help professional designers address the climate and biodiversity crisis. We will be signposting upcoming CPD sessions which will cover key topics in greater depth. This will also be an opportunity for attendees to highlight areas to us in which they feel would benefit from focussed learning so we can ensure upcoming CPD meets members’ needs.
Target Audience: Students & new or established designers who want to work more sustainably and have questions about where to start.
Time: 5pm-6:30pm Tuesday 28th January
