Skills to grow

Seven priorities to improve green space skills

A strategy for addressing the problems and opportunities facing the green space sector, from landscape architects to horticulturalists.

The successful planning, design and management of parks and the wider network of green spaces requires a range of skills and occupations, from landscape architects to horticulturalists. But evidence shows both a decline in the numbers entering these occupations and a lack of existing skills within the sector.

CABE and its partners have analysed the problems and opportunities and Skills to grow offers a strategy for addressing them. The strategy sets out a clear set of priorities that will create the conditions for an effective green space sector.

Skills to grow will be useful for people working in local, regional and national government, green space organisations and sector skills.
