A warm welcome to our newest members; Rachel Blake from Garden Creative Interiors and Denis Crawford a columnist and feature writer for Gardening Australia magazine and Hort Journal Australia.  Denis is also the author of Garden Pests, Disease & Good Bugs – The ultimate illustrated guide for Australian gardeners and judge for our photo competition!  Denis has done a fantastic job with the judging.  There were many quality entries and it must have been tough to pick only two winners.  Thank you for all of the entries and congratulations to the winners.  You will find the winners listed below or go to the IPA Facebook page to view all of the entries and results.

If you haven’t discovered the benefits of Facebook for your business yet, why not have a go over the holidays….as a free form of advertising and for a little inspiration I personally find it hard to beat.  If you’re still not convinced about the merits of Facebook, that’s okay, you will also be able to see the all of the Photo Competition entries in the Gallery of Members Work.

As the end of year approaches I hope that everyone is able to spend some quality time with family and friends and that you make it a priority to recharge the batteries for another huge year ahead!

Wishing you a fantastic Christmas and a very happy New Year!
