Open to All: Creating a more equal, diverse and inclusive industry
Making horticulture more accessible to all has been a hot topic for the last few years – and rightly so. A more equal, diverse and inclusive industry allows for more creativity and has been known to produce a thriving workforce – one that draws on each team member’s individual backgrounds and experiences. Our panellists have all been working towards diversifying horticulture and ensuring it’s an attractive industry to as many people as possible.
