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.
