Tuesday 9th September 11am:
- Integrated weed management: realities vs. government goals – Sponsored by Kersten
The clock is ticking for the landscape and amenity sector. With the National Action Plan targeting a 10% pesticide reduction by 2030 and a new Bill pushing to end urban pesticide use, significant changes are on the horizon. But with many councils still relying on pesticides, what does Integrated Weed Management (IWM) look like for the sector? Rachael Forsyth, HortWeek, will lead discussions with those dealing with the transition on the ground.
Tuesday 9th September 1pm:
- Tools of the Trade: Navigating machinery, equipment & scams – Sponsored by Cramer and Makita UK LTD
An expert panel will give practical tips on everything from spotting fake batteries and ID’ing counterfeit equipment, to choosing the best warranty schemes, weighing up purchase vs. hire options, as well as exploring the right tool for the right job. Mistakes can be costly – and downright dangerous – whether you’re a sole trader or buy for a large company or local authority, this is an essential panel for everyone who buys tools.
Wednesday 10th September 11am:
- Horticulture Question Time – Sponsored by Bourne Amenity and Hillier Nurseries
Join HortWeek as it takes its successful Horticulture Question Time on the road with its first-ever landscape and amenity edition. A panel of experts will answer questions sent in by HortWeek readers as well as live audience questions about a range of topics affecting the sector. Rachael Forsyth, HortWeek, will be uncovering the biggest challenges of 2025 and opportunities for the sector in 2026.
