From then to now: 30 years of careers and change.

Join us before this year’s 30th AGM for a look back at how horticulture has changed over the past three decades, through the careers of our trustees and staff. From their very first roles in horticulture to where they are now, you’ll hear reflections on what’s changed, what’s surprised them, and the advice they would give to someone starting their career today.

This special edition webinar will focus on what those changes mean for our community. Wherever you are in your career, you’ll gain insight and advice you can take forward. We’ll also look ahead by asking what the future of horticulture looks like and where PlantNetwork fits into that future.

✅ It’s free to attend – just make sure you pre-register!

After the webinar, we’d love for you to stay on for our AGM, to hear updates, and help shape the future of PlantNetwork. Looking forward to seeing you there.
