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: Anna Orth
In this edition we shine a light on Anna who has supported us with her membership for 10 years. As part-owner of Orths Nursery and Copperhead Wines, she describes a journey which has weathered the challenges of droughts, bushfires and of course the pandemic. Each time, she and her partner Hans have had to pivot to find new ways of doing things. You’ll be inspired by Anna’s triumph over adversity!
NGIV International Women’s Day Brunch
EWHA members gathered with NGIV to celebrate International Women’s Day over a relaxed brunch filled with connection, inspiration and shared stories from women in horticulture. A wonderful opportunity to reflect, network and honour the contributions of women across the industry.
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!
