What
is Scotia Horticultural Congress?
Scotia Horticultural Congress is an annual event of the vegetable and berry industries. Scotia Horticultural Congress has the potential to attract from 300 - 400 people interested in the horticultural industry, many from outside the province. Two days are packed with speakers both at joint sessions of general interest and concurrent sessions on crop specific topics. A trade show of 35-40 booths is integrated with breaks and luncheon to provide maximum interaction of those in attendance. Social events are scheduled for the fun side of things. The location is the Old Orchard Inn Convention Centre just outside Wolfville in the beautiful Annapolis Valley. Even in the chilly days of January, it is worth a visit. The Congress provides a platform to promote food crops, to disseminate recent research and technology, to inform producers of management and marketing techniques, to network with trade and government and to generally give a higher profile to our industry. Through the interaction of the various groups involved comes an exchange of information which crosses commodity specific lines, promotes new ideas and products and generally strengthens our potential for growth. The Annual General Meetings of two groups are held during Hort Congress: Horticulture Nova Scotia and the NS Potato Marketing Board. For More
