18.01.2022 Register now! Mary will be presenting on the Bragato Research Institute online panel on soil health and biodiversity in vineyards, 23 Sept. Habitats for good bugs , hemp as a cover crop and more!

18.01.2022 It was great to visit the Morning Peninsula last week to help judge the Dr Alan Antcliff Vineyard of the Year award along with fellow viticulturists Mark Walpole and John Whiting. A holistic approach is increasingly being taken by many growers. There is a strong focus on soil health with may vineyards producing their own compost for spreading under vine and compost tea preparations for spraying on vine canopies. Insectary plants are commonly incorporat...ed as supplementary flora to support populations of good bugs . There was a growing appreciation for nature and the interconnectedness of each of these elements. I took extra precautions with my biosecurity boot covers Olivia Barrie Mornington Peninsula Wine Fighting Gully Road

The awards recognise, celebrate and elevate women doing innovative things in their line of work, and I am absolutely thrilled to be have been voted from a record number of entries into the top three finalists for the category of Rural, Regional and Remote....

After the biggest event yet at the 2019 Winnovation Awards Ceremony, this year’s Awards Ceremony will be an in-person presentation ceremony for finalists and VIP, but excitingly, there is the opportunity for friends, family and supporters to join in online! As a valued supporter of my work and this award recognition, I would love for you to register to watch the 2020 Winnovation Awards online, from 5.30pm 8pm (formal ceremony 6pm-7pm if you’re pressed for time) on Thursday 19 November.
