Moments like yesterday’s event with the AssociationOfProLandscapersAPL and Society of Garden + Landscape Designers remind me just how rewarding running a business in this industry can be.
It’s undoubtedly been a tough couple of years for many of us operating and growing businesses, but bringing so many passionate, great people together in one space, especially with weather like we had yesterday, gives you a bit of energy and reminds you why we do it.
When you’re constantly working on and in your business, it’s easy to find yourself in a bubble, hyper-focused on your own path, the challenges and where you’re trying to get to next. Yesterday was a reminder that we need to make more time for things like this. Proper human interaction, conversations, relationships and social connection, something I think we’re losing far too much of in the modern world.
A massive thank you to Oakmore Green by Laura Anstiss, Philip Tremayne and David Strow from the APL, Emma Jo Real-Davies for her amazing hosting as always, we genuinely couldn’t do these events without her, Philip Barnes, Ryan Cranmer | Outdoor Living from SUNS LIFESTYLE, Ben Sulston as always for the amazing food and of course everyone who took the time to visit and spend the afternoon with us.
We appreciate you all! What a brilliant afternoon. More of this! 🙏🏻
