Connecting with industry face to face

By Dannielle Chapman -Executive Officer, Nursery and Garden Industry South Australia

The Nursery and Garden Industry of SA held its Trade Day recently at Morphettville after a long absence. We had many local stallholders along with the return of our Victorian and Queensland allied traders and nurseries making the trek across the border. We were very pleased with the turnout of visitors and the morning was a great success for all. It was wonderful to catch up again, face-to-face, with so many in the industry.

The Royal Adelaide Show will be held from 3- 1 September and NGISA will have a stand in the Goyder Pavilion to promote careers in the industry, new release products and general gardening. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to share the benefits of gardening, and our industry, directly to thousands of showgoers.

Adelaide will host the 2022 World Rose Convention from 27 October to 4 November 2022, and the Adelaide International Rose and Garden Expo on the weekend of 28-30 October 2022 at the Adelaide Convention Centre. We encourage those in Adelaide to attend the Expo as it will be a fantastic showcase of our industry to keen gardeners across the three days.
