Raising Awareness: Sun Safety

This May—coinciding with Melanoma Awareness Month—the Chartered Institute of Horticulture is launching a campaign to raise skin cancer awareness and promote best practices for sun protection within the horticulture industry. With over 17,000 cases of melanoma skin cancer diagnosed in the UK each year, raising awareness is essential year-round. Those who work outdoors—such as gardeners, growers, and landscapers—face an even higher risk due to prolonged exposure to UV radiation.
