23.01.2022 An awesome project to be involved in. Thanks Hort Innovation for sharing a little of Boomaroos story and the achievements of so many others in our industry! Will definitely be tuning in tomorrow!

21.01.2022 HORT CONNECTED!! What a fantastic couple of days connecting (and reconnecting) with industry and enjoying a packed program of speaker sessions, events and of course the Awards for Excellence Gala Dinner. Congratulations to the AUSVEG and PMA team - already looking forward to Brisbane 2022! #hortcon21 @hortconnections @ausveg #horticulture #tradeshow #womeninhorticulture #boomaroo #growingabetterfuture

21.01.2022 A productive day for FareShare volunteers planting cauliflower, broccoli and leek seedlings in their Moorabbin garden earlier this week. Boomaroo proudly supports FareShare who will use this produce to provide nutritious, vegetable-packed meals to those who are in need - work that is even more important in these difficult times. Well done FareShare! #fareshare #growingvegetables #vegetableseedlings #communitygarden #boomaroo #growingabetterfuture

21.01.2022 Last year we saw the highly successful launch of the Schools on Farms pilot program, with primary school students taking a day out to learn about healthy eating, the journey of our fresh produce and perhaps even pursuing a career in horticulture. Thanks to Gazzola Farms and Taranto Farms for opening their farm gates to this exciting project. Looking forward to seeing the program extend even further! The Schools on Farms program is a joint initiative between AUSVEG VIC, the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Foundation and Boomaroo Nurseries. #schoolsonfarms #farmfresh #healthyeating #eatmoreveg #boomaroo #growingabetterfuture @ausveg_vic @sakgf

21.01.2022 Its Mothers Day! Dont forget to give Mum a big kiss, cuddle and squeeze (virtually if you cant in person), and perhaps a little something special to brighten her day! On a more serious note, the Mothers Day Classic does tremendous work in raising funds for breast cancer research. Things are being run a little differently this year, so check out their website to find out how you can help! #mothersday #thanksmum #mothersdayclassic #giving #cyclamen #greenlife #boomaroo #growingabetterfuture

11.01.2022 R U OK DAY - TODAY: Now more than ever people around you are doing it tough - friends, family, workmates and neighbours - in ways that you might not realise.

There are many ways to say ‘R U OK?’ - what’s important is that your approach is genuine.... For tips on when and how to ask, visit www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #ruok #ruokday #aretheyreallyOK
