Les concluded: “With fewer young people coming in to the industry in recent years IPPS are very keen to support this new generation of growers. We are looking forward to welcoming this year’s successful candidates in Copenhagen and wish those who enter the best of luck”. IPPS is an international society for nursery growers and other professional horticulturists who agree to freely share their knowledge, skills and expertise for the benefit of our profession. Its European Region was born when members of the Great Britain and Ireland region – which already included members from most European countries – voted in 2013 to change the name. We are now working hard to bring the benefits of IPPS membership to even more of our industry and professional colleagues in Europe and hope to attract many more future members.
