The Horticulture Alumni is being established as a community of like-minded industry leaders who share a common desire to lift the bar for Australia’s horticulture sector.

It aims to introduce a ‘club’ approach, where being a member means you will not only be at the forefront of Australia’s horticulture leaders, but will also have a chance to shape our industry’s future.

This project promises to be a great avenue for growers and other horticulture industry members who are passionate about the future of our sector to create a national community to work for Australian horticulture’s ongoing success.

As the initiative gets under way, preparations are in full swing for the Horticulture Alumni’s upcoming events celebrating our sector and bringing together industry leaders to meet and connect.

Save the date for 16-17 October 2018, when a series of events – including an industry breakfast open to everybody – will be held in Canberra with the theme of Growing Australia Together.

We’ll have more information on how you can be a part of these events in the coming weeks, so keep an eye on the Weekly Update for more information!
