The peak industry body for the Victorian horticulture sector, Nursery and Garden Industry Victoria (NGIV), today celebrates the contribution Victorian horticulture makes to our State as part of the week-long Annual Horticulture Showcase in Victorian Parliament House.
Minister for Agriculture, Skills, and Training, and Higher Education, the Hon Gayle Tierney MLC, will officially open the exhibition today, with corresponding remarks to be provided by Leader of the Nationals, the Hon Peter Walsh MP.
The Showcase focuses on the diverse supply chain of the horticulture industry, with NGIV encouraging Members of Parliament to drop in and discover the size, scale, and scope of Victoria’s $2.5 billion horticulture industry and the essential role it plays in growing healthier environments, communities, and economies for all Victorians.
Victoria is Australia’s home of horticulture. The recently launched industry report, “realization of growth opportunities within the nursery and garden industry,” commissioned by NGIV and independently prepared by RM Consulting Group, provides fact-based recognition of the sector and validates its economic worth.
Parliament House is now green as Nursery and Garden Industry Victoria representatives highlight the essential role it plays in growing healthier environments, communities, and economies for Victorians.
