If you missed it, Leah from Touch of Class Plants was on the radio over the weekend.

Leah made an appearance on 3AW’s Darren & Jane’s Big Backyard, and spoke about Euphorbia Lipstick, the brand new Dahlia Dream Series, and Laurus Flavour Master.

Propagation/Production Manager

A position exists for a career focused person with a sound horticultural background as Production/Propagation Manager at Greenhills Propagation Nursery.

See the full job description here.

The Dressed to Impress™ range was featured at the 2011 Hortivations Expo. Trevor from Garden Gurus provides the commentary. Making an appearance in this video are Dahlia Dream Catcher, Dahlia Dream Maker, and Dahlia Dream Seeker.

The Dressed to Impress™ rangeprovides you with a living bunch of flowers. Enjoy long lasting blooms with the added value of a plant for your garden afterwards.

Check out touchofclassplants.com.au/2011/11/hortivations-2011/ for more images of our stand that was featured in this video.

Touch of Class Plants is currently at Hortivations 2011!

For those who don’t know, Hortivations is a trade exhibition showcasing upcoming plants, new ideas and modern technologies.

Touch of Class Plants was once again a key sponsor. With this, we were also able to set up a stall where guests of Hortivations could experience the new plants that we had to offer. This year, we have expanded our catalogue to include Dianthus, Dahlia’s and Pentas, bringing a much more floral feel to our range.

We have also found that Hortivations is a great opportunity to network with industry colleages, other sponsors, and retailers to learn the latest in market trends and cultures.

Sorry everyone, but Hortivations is a trade only event, we hope you enjoy the pictures though!
