The 2025 EWHA AGM was held on 20 August 2025 at the Australian Nurses Memorial Centre. The AGM was followed by a talk by Marcelle Nankervis.
Horticulturist and freelance writer Marcelle Nankervis treated us to an engaging talk about her extensive experience working in horticultural media and marketing. It was a rare glimpse behind the scenes into the world of Pacific Publications and the Murdoch Press. She was able to give practical advice to those interested in entering hort media.
The event was well-attended and included our AGM where we farewelled our Treasurer of 6 years, Simon Trebilcock, and our Secretary, Barbara Ormerod. Four new committee members were welcomed: Naomie Sunner, Zy Gulam, Caitlin Gray, and Luda Unitt.The winner of our lucky prize, a $50 Diggers Club voucher, was Pilar Jackson of Southern Plants.
We very much appreciate the support from our event sponsors Warners Nurseries and The Diggers Foundation.
