Landscape Juice's dialogue with BALI

I am delighted to say that I have managed to have a long conversation with the Chairman of the British Association of Landscape Industries, Richard Gardiner, about British landscaping and horticulture and how our respective organisations plays its part in the future.

We disagreed on very little and Richard acknowledged that the Landscape Juice Network has a part to play in our industry.

Whilst Landscape Juice will remain independent, my suggestion that our members should be considered and that BALI, APL and LJN should, together, discuss issues that affect all of those who forge their living in the land-based world, was received positively and has agreed to consider my proposal to form a three-way forum between LJN, BALI and APL.

Richard Gardiner was also keen to re-iterate that BALI never intended to belittle or insult any member of the landscaping industry in the article by Horticulture Week of 20th November 2009.

A sceptic could be forgiven in thinking that BALI never intended to insult any LJN members in order to possibly pick up some business somewhere along the lines.
