IPPS at Trade Days

Once again, IPPS had a strong presence at both the Auckland and Christchurch Trade Days held in March with displays and demonstrations organised by Gordon Scott.

In Christchurch, we had Ray Lawson (Oderings) talking on cyclamen propagation, Paul Michael (Fern Factor) on fern propagation and Mark Stevenson (Hortfert) on growing media and fertilisers.

In Auckland, we had Graeme Platt (NZ Botanical Research Institute) on natives and seeds, Sandra Simpson (Multiflora) on tissue culture, Dr Keith Hammett on plant breeding and hybridising, and Janice Houghton (Rainbow Trees) on cuttings and propagation. Thanks to those members who shared their knowledge and skills with others in the industry. Hopefully, we'll gain new members as a result of our promotions at the trade days.
