So if you have someone in your team who would benefit from the programme - someone who could be a manager of the future - then send your entry in promptly.

The benefits of the programme are many - learning new skills, meeting like-minded people, seeing different garden centres - and most of all  - helping build self-confidence.

Send your completed entries to Pat Adams at GCA  Pat Adams pat@gca.org.uk

If you didn't pick up an entry form at Conference in Brighton last month contact the GCA office as above or Keith Nicholson, Marketing Director at Westland Horticulture.
