Younger people than me who don't have the mortgage, don't have children in school, aren't locked in a postcode, they're, they're either choosing to leave or they're just not actually starting.
Ever wondered how to spark interest in greenkeeping among the younger generation? Stuart Butler dives into this very topic with Hadlow College lecturer Anthony Stockwell and rising star Simon Wattier. Anthony shares his journey from hands-on turf maintenance to shaping future professionals as an educator. Simon, a young Frenchman, recounts his whirlwind career that has already taken him from Switzerland to Portugal, Ireland, and now Penn State in the USA to study for a turf degree.
The conversation covers the structure of turf education in the UK and what more can be done to attract and retain young talent in the industry. Anthony offers his thoughts on improving communication and flexibility to make these fields more appealing. If you're curious about greenkeeping, horticulture, or agriculture, this episode offers valuable insights into making these careers attractive to the next generation.
