23.01.2022 Happy National Wattle Day! Celebrated since 1992 today is all about this beautiful tree! Acacia trees are widely regarded as a keystone species. They have a positive impact on soil chemistry as nitrogen fixers and increase herbaceous understory productivity. #wattle #nationalwattleday2020 #nationalwattleday #wattleday #acacia #encouragingwomeninhorticulture #ewha

12.01.2022 The Triteleia are up and out! Native to the west coast of the United States with many varieties available and one which is native to Mexico. Varieties flowering time’s do differ marginally. However, this lovely corm produces powder blue, flowers from now. These will fade as autumn & spring progress and summer sets in so enjoy these ‘stars of spring’ now . #encouragingwomeninhorticulture #womeninhorticulture #horticulturist #horticulture #EWHA

Samara currently works at Zoos Victoria, Healesville Sanctuary full time in the horticultural team. Alongside arborists, Landscapers and experienced horticulturists. Samara tells us: Healesville sanctuary has a mix of remnant land and semi-formal Australian native landscape, I believe protecting and recreating native landscapes is very important moving forward into ...a sustainable future. I am currently completing my certificate 3 in horticulture and my diploma in conservation and land management at Swinburne University of Technology. I have been very fortunate in the support and development I have received from my teachers at Swinburne, I hope to one day do the same for others beginning their careers in the industry. I am excited to learn and develop my future by further studies and growth within the workplace. The Dawn Fleming Student Scholarship has helped me continue my studies and has given me confidence to achieve even greater things within horticulture, I am very grateful for this opportunity and thankful to all those involved in the selection process. Congratulations Samara on your study, work and continued aspirations we’re proud to have encouraged you! #encouragingwomeninhorticulture #EWHA #dawnflemingscholarship #horticulture

02.01.2022 Could this be the job for you?

02.01.2022 Dear Members, We hope that you and your families are well and safe. Under normal circumstances you would have received notification of our AGM & Dinner which was scheduled to be held on Wednesday 26th August.... Due to the current COVID19 restrictions, the Committee has decided to postpone the AGM until Wednesday 28th October, 2020. We hope that at that time restrictions will have eased enough to allow us to have the meeting face to face. EWHA's Model Rules allow for members to attend an AGM remotely if required. So if circumstances prevent a "live" meeting in October, we will let you know in advance and will opt to conduct the AGM via Zoom. If you have any questions regarding these arrangements do let us know. In the meantime, stay well, safe and gardening. Spring is around the corner. #encouragingwomeninhorticulture
