HortiTrends Weekly News & Comment - Leading Nurseryman Calls for Action and Industry Appeal - Last Chance to Recieve Launch Edition of HORTICULTURE CONNECTED magazine -20th Jan
In Leading Nurseryman Calls for Action and Industry Appeal to Minister on draft RDP Consultation Document there is potentially more losses ahead for Irish tree growers, unless they can make their voice heard. There was great fanfare last week as it was announced that Ireland now has a €10 billion Irish food export sector. Therein lies part of the problem, as ornamental horticulture it not top of any agenda for this government, due to a lack of understanding of the true value of ornamental horticulture to the overall economy.

Another new year. A time to be thoughtful about the business year past. What worked and what did not? What are the new things we are going to be doing for our business in 2014, with more, the same or even less resources available to us? What do we give up to make sure that any new ideas and initiatives have a real chance to work? Its a common mistake we can all make (us included).

HortiTrends Weekly News & Comment - Does Technology work for you or Do you work for Technology? Putting the Social into Social Media - Dec 13th
Does Technology work for you or Do you work for Technology? Its a question I ask myself and others all of the time. Is technology freeing up more of my time, just to do more technology, which in turn is making me busier and busier? Does social media allow me to be virtually social with more people on-line and less social with real people who are in front of me? How many times have you been waiting for some service, while the service provider was chatting away on a phone and you get the "with you in a minute" sound-bite?
