Course heads and tutors meet for open forum in 2026
Now a regular event in its own right, and one well attended by course heads, tutors and training providers involved in delivery Landscape, Horticulture and Garden Design courses across the UK, the BALI Chalk Fund College Forum will take place again at GroundsFest.
A unique opportunity to share and collaborate
Building on the rapport and community formed at two successful online meetings earlier in 2026, the face-to-face forum is a rare opportunity for college leads to meet, share ideas and compare plans, activities and challenges. The BALI Chalk Fund Trustees and Communication team will be outlining the last 12 months’ industry successes in terms of training, career support and enrichment. It will also be a chance to share the programme and timeline of our National Student Awards and Enrichment Programme for 2026/2027.
The BALI GoLandscape team will also be in attendance to discuss how they can help your college and support you in promoting career opportunities and recruitment.
College tutors and Course Leads are invited to attend. Confirmation emails should be sent to Lynn Hunter, BALI Chalk Fund Marketing and Communications team.
GroundsFest, the largest grounds management event, offers a multitude of CPD opportunities for tutors as well as offering a superb platform of opportunity for students to explore grounds maintenance and external works sectors. There are live demonstrations, competitions, hands-on sessions and an evening social event within the Programme.
