TURF QUEENSLAND ON DISPLAY TO THE WORLD

Re: 29th International Horticultural Congress, 17th-22nd August 2014, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

The 29^th International Horticulture Congress is coming to Brisbane in August 2014. Turf Queensland through its members will provide a natural turfgrass display on the front entrance steps to the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre. Obviously we will have a display inside for all the visiting delegates from around the world, tipped to be around 3000 similar to the last Congress held in Lisbon Spain four years ago.

Please put these dates in your diary as we are sure you will find it all of interest and benefit.

The theme of the 2014 Congress is ‘Horticulture – sustaining lives, livelihoods and landscapes’ and has beenchosen to highlight the unique potential of horticulture to address the key issues of our modern global society – health enhancement, poverty alleviation, increased food production and environmental sustainability. Horticulture and horticultural science matters to us all, whether we are involved in research, extension, education, or servicing of horticulture in a production, amenity, or servicing capacity.

You don’t want to miss out on this outstanding horticultural event. Industry representatives can register their interest (thus receiving regular information updates), place an abstract, or obtain further information at  www.ihc2014.org.
