Joining the EWHA committee has been a very rewarding experience for me. I have my own horticulture business and the social aspect of regularly connecting with others in the industry has been a highlight. It has also been very beneficial professionally as it has provided me with many networking and learning opportunities. When I joined a couple of years ago, I found the committee very supportive and welcoming. In my time as a volunteer I have acquired new skills, made new friends and have had a lot of fun along the way.

Spotlight on a Member: Pia Lefevre
Like many of us, Pia’s career path ended up in the plant world, far from where it began. Though her studies and employment were in the allied area of sustainability, she soon realised that life in an office wasn’t for her.
Now she has fully embraced horticulture, both studying and working in the sector.
And she’s not one to stand still: she will be exhibiting a garden at MIFGS in 2026, has already featured as a commentator on the 3CR Gardening programme, and she has a side-line in photography!
Horticultural Hero: Dr Stella Antony
From a childhood spent among mango trees, millet fields and a beloved pet goat in rural India, to leading-edge research protecting Australia’s nut industries, Dr Stella Antony’s horticultural journey is one of deep connection, quiet courage and intellectual rigour. A walnut grower, plant pathologist and passionate advocate for sustainable orchards, Stella brings together lived experience on the land with world-class science – proving that horticulture is not just something we do, but something we carry with us, wherever we grow.
Event Highlight: Verdicus
Those of us who braved the cool and rainy weather to visit Verdicus garden in Tylden were treated to a special small group tour by Bruce and Keith, the owners of Verdicus.
