Review of Futurescape 2021
Futurescape 2021 was buzzing, with lots of footfall and much bigger trade stands. Featuring huge stands from Talasey, Grillo and some of the landscape machinery companies. The vibe was fast-paced and frenetic with lots to see and explore. The seminars were fantastic and covered a wide range of topics that attracted large crowds each time. We were particularly interested in the topics on eco and sustainability, with a specific interest in planting trees, rewilding and creating wildflower beds. One of our company aims for the new year is to look into our carbon footprint and work with local businesses to get involved with rewilding and planting native trees. Find out about our current eco/ sustainability policies and aims going forward here.
