Rachel Bailey joins line up of speakers at the Society of Garden Designer’s Symposium

Rachel has been invited to speak at the upcoming Society of Garden Designer’s (SGD) symposium, which will be held at RHS Wisley on 9th and 10th June 2022. She will be speaking about gardens, connectivity, and biodiversity and how we as designers can help. Drawing on landscape ecology principles, she will show how habitat fragmentation is bad for biodiversity and how through connectivity at the garden and wider landscape scale, we can help wildlife in our towns and cities and help restore nature.

As the SGD celebrates 40 years of garden and landscape design, this two-day symposium held at the new Hilltop Building, RHS Garden Wisley, will examine the past, cast a critical eye on current practice, and propose new ways of working together to address the rapidly changing demands of people and planet to help develop an industry leading approach to sustainable garden design.

Aimed at helping the industry work collaboratively to forge plans for a responsible, creative, relevant and rewarding future in the way we practice, a line-up of some of the UK's most influential garden and landscape designers working in sustainable and ecological design will share their knowledge and expertise in an unmissable mix of talks, panel debates and round-table discussions.
