Q&S Commercial Landscapes today announced its commitment to the collaborative exhibit at New Scientist Live 2026, provisionally titled “Roots for the future, skills for today”.
By joining this sector-wide initiative, Q&S Commercial Landscapes will help champion the vital role of modern horticulture and landscape architecture in building greener, more resilient places.
Sue Payne, Managing Director for Quality & Service (Q&S) said: “We are proud to support this important initiative. The landscape and horticulture sector has so much to offer from technical expertise and sustainability-led to scientific thinking with real-world impact. It is vital that we showcase these green skills and opportunities more effectively to the next generation.”
Quality & Service (Q&S) design, install and maintain sustainable commercial green spaces. The company ethos is based on a return to the fundamentals, using traditional, chemical free and fossil fuel gardening practices. Creating unique gardens and interior planting that support biodiversity and improve wellbeing. Bringing nature back into built-up environments, Q&S create places where people, plants and wildlife thrive. From courtyards and roof terraces to large commercial landscapes, the ambition is simple: to develop resilient green spaces that leave a positive legacy for future generations. Rooted in horticultural expertise, a team of qualified horticulturalists, experienced gardeners and apprentices share a genuine passion for plants, organic gardening practices and thoughtful landscape management.
A platform for the industry
Taking place from 10–12 October 2026 at ExCeL London, the interactive exhibit will showcase the breadth of modern horticulture and landscape architecture to an audience of more than 26,000 visitors, including families, students and professionals. The collaboration aims to address the sector’s well-documented skills shortage and challenge outdated perceptions by presenting landscape and horticulture roles as innovative, technology-led and essential to environmental resilience.
Through hands-on demonstrations and immersive displays, the stand will highlight career pathways across landscape management, biodiversity and horticulture while also offering a platform for the industry to engage directly with future talent.
There’s only a couple of weeks more for any final stand sharers to join the collaboration to help develop the exhibit further and expand its representation of the sector. Contact Christina Walker on chris1coombes@googlemail.com.
