IPPS Australia and IPPS Southern Africa have an established exchange program. As of January 2025 IPPS SA and IPPS New Zealand have entered into a similar exchange program agreement! The intention is to offer young horticulturists at the start of their career, an opportunity to gain experience of a different plant production industry, and to build a better understanding of the host country.
The chosen candidates will visit their allocated host country, Australia/New Zealand, for a period of about two weeks during April and May 2025, where they will be hosted by the local nursery industry. They will attend the host Regions annual conference and may be required to work in nurseries, as well as visiting gardens and other places of horticultural interest.
Do you know a young horticulturist between the ages of 19 and 30 with a passion for plant production? Nominate him/her now! Click here. Nominations must reach our office before 10 February 2025!
The IPPS Southern Africa board will each year select and sponsor four top candidates from the CV's received to attend the regional annual conference during March the forthcoming year!
