Finding your place in the landscape profession!

 

To a packed room of students from a range of disciplines, including the postgraduate students in landscape architecture and garden design, Chris Young, the Royal Horticulture Society (RHS) Head of Editorial and Editor of  The Garden, gave an inspiring presentation on finding your place in the land based sector. He reflected on his own journey from landscape architecture to the sharing his passion for plants, gardens, gardening and the environment, initially as editor of the Society of Garden Designers and now in his leading role at the RHS.  He told an enthusiastic audience about the vital aspects of networking throughout the range of professions that support the creating, making and maintaining of places, of additional career development whilst being a student, of how to value and acknowledge how each individual is unique, through to surviving and thriving during the job hunting and interview experience.  Many thanks to Chris for sharing his knowledge and experience with Writtle University College students and staff - please come again soon…
