Welcome to your Summer 2025 Edition of HortInsights
In this edition, we’re delighted to celebrate excellence across our industry with the announcement of the 2025 AIH Award winners — and our very first Scholarship recipient. Join Ash Walker as he recaps the highlights of our Annual General Meeting, Strategic Plan Review, and the exclusive Members’ Awards Evening.
Be inspired by a rich collection of stories to engage your horticultural senses. Journey through the “Five Stans” with David Martin, explore a winning typology for green workspaces at Singapore’s SJ Campus, and marvel at the living canvas of over 50,000 native plants at Sydney Modern Art Gallery. For a change of pace, uncover the colour philosophy behind Monet’s Garden.
Closer to home, Arborgreen shares how meaningful partnerships are transforming neglected spaces into thriving green oases. We also examine the impact of pesticides on waterways — and practical solutions for a more sustainable future.
Discover a newly identified native bee species, explore urban horticulture’s role in biodiversity, and learn how sponsor Aviso helps protect horticultural businesses through insurance.
And with Christmas approaching, we’ve even provided gift inspiration — get 50% off Friends of AIH gift subscriptions until 24th December.
Enjoy these and many more stories to inspire you this season.
