11 November at Roundstone Nurseries:
UK: Seasonal Plants Dinner and GroSouth 2015
The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) will have a stand at the show that will focus on the technical and policy work, which we do on behalf of members. Topics such as research and development, sustainable resourcing, the ornamental round table, GROW apprenticeships and market data will be some of the key themes covered. HTA staff will also be on hand to talk about upcoming events, the cost saving benefits and schemes available to members and any general membership enquiries.
Members of the Seasonal Plants group are also invited to a dinner held on the night before the show on Tuesday 10 November. We are delighted to be hosting a dinner at the Chichester Park Hotel in conjunction with Fargro. Enjoy a relaxed dinner with key stakeholders in the industry and a talk by our after dinner speaker, Chris Beytes, Editor of Grower Talks/Green Profit magazine and the man in charge at Ball Publishing, based in Chicago, Illinois. He has 30 years experience in the floriculture industry and travels extensively, reporting on the latest in greenhouse and garden centre trends, innovations and ideas.
