Welcome

Our Environment - Your Backyard
Conference '13

Nursery, landscape and garden centre people are invited to gather in Queenstown 26 & 27 June for our joint NGINZ and LNZ 2013 conference. We'll explore ways that we can work together, take advantage of things "green" and whatever else might work for our collective benefit. We can guarantee snow - at least in the main street, 'cos this year's conference coincides with Queenstown's Winter Festival. Queenstown will buzz, and as a result, it'll be a battle to keep conference attendees on task, but we'll give it a shot. ... more
