The International Association of Horticultural Products, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, announced the finalists of its International Grower of the Year Awards 2022, where nine ornamental growers across the globe progressed to the final.
AIPH’s IGOTY contest recognizes the top performers in horticulture by ornamental production nurseries and celebrate their growing prowess.
“I am delighted that we have partnered with GreenTech and have the opportunity to present an exciting new format for presenting our awards this year,” says AIPH Secretary General Tim Briercliffe. “This is set to be a great event with high-quality finalists from around the world; the perfect way for the industry to come together.”
