Welcome to your Winter 2025 Edition of HortInsights!

In this edition, we’re delighted to share the details of our 2025 Annual General Meeting, set in the breathtaking surrounds of Mayfield Garden, Oberon.

We also celebrate innovation and excellence, with highlights from this year’s MIFGS award winners and a look back at the rich history of this iconic event.

You’ll find an inspiring feature on storytelling through Zen gardens, and a compelling report on efforts to save Syzygium glenum, a critically endangered tree species.

We take a fresh look at permaculture through a farm-to-table experience, and invite eligible members to apply for the Hazel King Memorial Scholarship.

Lastly, we encourage our senior members to take part in the AIH Storytelling initiative—an opportunity to share your journey and inspire the next generation.

All this and more in this edition.

Thank you for being part of our growing, thriving AIH community.
