Following the successful Hort Science South Masterclass, at RHS Wisley last week, ICL is staging a second 'Sustainable Plant Production' event near Preston, next month.
Focusing on where innovation meets sustainability in horticulture, the Masterclass will be held at the award-winning Brockholes Conference Centre, near Preston - on Wednesday, 12 November.
"Launched in 2017, ICL Hort Science events continue to grow in popularity," says Matthew Miller, Marketing Communications Manager. "At RHS Wisley, we achieved our highest-ever attendance, demonstrating the industry's appetite for practical innovations and knowledge sharing."

Featuring the latest techniques and future-focused strategies in sustainable plant production, there will be sessions on Nutrition and how to grow smarter; Finding solutions to new and future challenges; Sustainable growing media and what comes next; and Robust vine weevil control and other sustainable growing solutions.
Guest speaker Peter Marshall – founder and CTO of Volta Eco Systems – will tackle the highly topical subject - Growing your energy storage and reducing operation costs. A leading expert in commercial battery storage, Peter's 35-year architectural career validates his focus on delivering technically robust energy solutions, that provide savings and security for businesses.
Located beside the M6, Brockholes is a sustainable floating venue set within the Lancashire Wildlife Trust's nature reserve, an ideal setting for a discussion on sustainable horticulture.
With registration and coffee from 9.30, the Hort Science North Masterclass starts at 10am, completes by 2pm and includes lunch and networking opportunities. With BASIS points available, this event is free to attend - but numbers are limited.
