Nina Mason is content director at 44Group, an events and media company that is primarily rooted in the horticulture sector. It is the creator of esteemed B2B magazines, starting with Pro Landscaper in the UK in 2011―a brand that has grown into a community of landscape contractors and designers and other industry professionals. Its dynamic approach, encompassing numerous channels, has been instrumental in connecting all parts of the landscaping industry across the country.

Earlier this year, 44Group brought the brand across the pond with the launch of Pro Landscaper USA, a monthly magazine with the same ambition of creating a platform for all sectors of the industry as well as their trade associations to share ideas, insights and inspiration. It covers the latest news and innovations across the US, from interviews with the industry's key players, to residential and commercial projects showcasing the best of outdoor living, to the products that bring these schemes to life—all to inform, educate and inspire landscaping professionals across the West Coast and further afield.

On December 9-10, it will also be hosting the first FutureScape USA in Los Angeles. The premier landscaping event has gone from strength to strength in the UK and is now bringing its exclusive format to California, offering an environment for networking, knowledge exchange, and exploring the latest trends and innovations shaping the future of landscaping.
