Head Gardener Symposium

This October will see the second annual symposium, for head gardeners and professional gardeners, to take place at Coollattin House in Co. Wicklow. The symposium is a great opportunity for anyone in the role of professional gardener to meet and network with like-minded colleagues in similar positions and enjoy the enormous beauty of the Coollattin Estate. Throughout the day you will hear from expert speakers, each with their own experience as head gardeners in some of Ireland’s and Britain’s most iconic gardens.

The theme of the symposium this year is Trees. HGS welcome you to join with them to participate and engage at this exciting event. Morning and afternoon tea/scones and lunch at Coollattin House included for your enjoyment.
