Last year in ChattanoogaThe IPPS International Tour and Conference in New Zealand starts in three weeks time in Queenstown on the South Island and finishes three weeks later in Auckland. Throughout this three week period I plan to provide regular updates of the people we meet and places visited.
The IPPS is an International Society of professional plant producers, educators, researchers and tradesmen and women who have one thing in common, the desire to seek and share knowledge on all things related to growing plants. Each year we hold an International event and rather than wait months to share the best bits from our visits , we have gone 'modern' with a blog, so that members who aren't on the trip can get news from the trip quickly. I also hope that the wider public, will be encouraged to learn more about our unique society, by going onto our website at http://www.ipps.org/

Great idea for a blog. All of us back in Blighty (and elsewhere) are envious of you travelling down under, but it is good we can hear and see the news as it happens. Have a great conference. Chris Burgess, (CB Consultant Agronomist)
