International Garden Centre Association Recent Ireland Tour

Greetings from IGCA President Nick Stodel
The IGCA board and administrators met during February in Ireland where a very impressive 25 people from 15 countries got together to exchange ideas and best practices around managing associations in the Green industry. This is the biggest group of people that the IGCA has ever pulled together for the administrators meeting. We were treated to good Irish hospitality by Rachel Doyle and her family, and got to visit some very impressive garden centres during our time there. There are pictures on the IGCA Facebook page at www.facebook.com/IGCAssociation.

There was also huge excitement about out upcoming tour to Australia, which is taking place from the 6th – 11th October this year in Melbourne. If you haven't registered already, visit www.igccaustralia2013.com/registration. Australian garden centres offer valuable insights into how to deal with drought, a strong and growing DIY presence and economic pressures.

I look forward to seeing you in Melbourne, Australia later this year!
