The Horticultural Trades Association is to launch their new
podcast, Hort-Talk, a podcast that takes the most relevant
industry subjects and makes them accessible and digestible for
all.
In each episode, two guests are invited to discuss
and deliberate on topics related to
horticulture, each bringing their own expertise and
experiences to the table.
The first episode launches on Tuesday 11 May – Wellbeing day of
Plant Health Week 2021. This episode focuses on mental health and wellbeing and has
two special guests: Martin Hilton, Director of Learning and
Education at CPL, and Annabelle Padwick- Founder of Life at
No.27 and National Growing for Wellbeing Week.
Alex Jenkins, HTA Learning and Development Manager,
said: “We wanted to make important topics accessible and
digestible for everyone.
“Some of the most important subjects we must deal
with in our industry with can be confusing and complicated if
they are not something you have to work with directly. However, it does
not mean they are not important for everyone to have some
understanding of.
“Hort-Talk came from the desire to make sure everyone in our
membership can access and learn from these topics in
an enjoyable way, no matter your job role or field.
“Whether it be Plant Health or Mental wellbeing we want everyone
to feel they can be part of the conversation.”
