TRADE DAY REPORT
Trade Day report By Nan Cleven
May Trade Day was once again at capacity with every stand occupied by leading growers and allied businesses at Australia’s premier plantlife wholesale trading market.
« The Ausflora Pacific team got behind the pink theme which must have inspired the shoppers, as they sold out of all their stock early in the day. A big congratulations to Linda Sijpkes who completed the gruelling 100km Oxfam Trailwalker in 34 hours in April. She raised an impressive $8,500 along the way
Our final autumn Trade Day was full of seasonal colour, with and sprinkling of pink to celebrate Mother’s Day and raise funds for the Breast Cancer Network. Thanks to all our generous stand holders for supplying prizes for our raffle. A big thank you to Cancer Council Victoria who were on hand to offer complimentary advice on bowel cancer screening and Peninsula Health for delivering a pop-up COVID vaccination hub.

« Our May Trade Day was proudly sponsored by Industry Silver Partner, Hortitech, who are celebrating 40 years of supplying the horticulture industry with the best cover and crop protection solutions.
And with Mother’s Day just around the corner, it was another sell-out for Wright’s Nursery’s stand, their stunning range of chrysanthemums did not last long. Here’s nursery manager Chintan proudly displaying the fruits of their labour.
Trade Day ever-present Robert Plechinger of Yackandandah Valley Nursery took cover amongst his stunning range of indoor plants, always a hit with the buyers.
Here’s Ric from Hortitech ringing the bell to welcome the buyers in from the cold. They wasted no time in filling their trolleys with the finest quality greenlife and allied products.
