TRADE DAY
July Trade Day report By Nan Cleven After what felt like such a long wait, it was fantastic to bring our industry together to experience Trade Day at it’s new home; KCC Park. It was wonderful to see the pavilion transformed from an empty space to a busy, bustling market jam packed with stunning plantlife and allied offerings.

Thanks to everyone for coming along to our first Trade Day at KCC Park; it was a great turnout. We received lots of positive feedback from stand holders and growers alike, regarding the new venue. The NGIV team and Trade Day Committee have met to look at ways to deliver an even better August Trade Day.
