John Little - Gardeners are more important than designers!
John Little talks on the vital role of gardeners in transforming garden spaces, challenging conventional ideas about landscaping and garden design.
The innovative founder of the Grass Roof Company believes that the true value in gardening lies not in expensive materials or elaborate designs but in the dedication and skill of the gardeners themselves. John explains how prioritising people over products can lead to more sustainable, resilient, and beautiful environments.
Drawing on his extensive experience, including Clapton Park in London, John discusses how investing in gardeners' skills and knowledge can have a profound impact on communities, biodiversity, and overall well-being. He shares practical examples and insights on how this approach can lead to greener, healthier spaces that benefit everyone.
