North Island Spring Nursery Industry Trade Day 2020

North Island Spring Nursery Industry Trade Day 2020

Hamilton, Wednesday 12th of August 2020

 

It is great that we are once again able to attend events.  On Wednesday 12th of August, on behalf of Ecomix coir suppliers, I will be attending the North Island Nursery Trade Day.  Ecomix owner Martin Vadakekeuttu and Ecomix Sales Manager, Melanie Power, are both based in Australia.  As it is unlikely, due to Covid-19 travel restrictions, they will be permitted to travel from Australia to New Zealand, partnering with us was a great option for Ecomix to have their products showcased.

Ecomix has a fantastic range of coir-based products, including products that will be introduced to the New Zealand nursery market.  Ecomix already has a presence in New Zealand, supplying substrates to the vegetable greenhouse industry.  The trade day also offers Grower2Grower the chance to connect with companies that are expanding or investigating greenhouse/protected cropping production.  These companies may want to gain insights into products, technology and techniques already associated with the current flower and vegetable greenhouse industry here in NZ.

The trade day is being held at Claudelands Event Centre, Brooklyn Rd, Hamilton.  The doors are open from 8.30am to 3pm.  Admission is free to everyone in or associated with the nursery or garden trade.

Trade Days are exhibition and selling days for growers and/or sellers of plants, dry goods or horticultural services.

Trade Days bring you the latest and best of plants, products and services from the NZ nursery industry.
