This biosecurity 'crash course' focuses solely on those aspects of biosecurity that have relevance for the garden designer; landscaper; property developer; or anyone involved in the specification; sourcing or handling of plants on a planting site. Topics covered include: key pests and diseases to be watching for; and what to look for; regions in the UK currently affected by these pests and diseases and implications if you are planting in one of these areas; current regulations for importing stock etc.; especially in light of Brexit; and how to keep updated; reporting requirements/protocol if one of these pest and diseases are found on your job site.
