We had a great time and learned very much from our visit to the Baltic countries this July. Thanks to the staff at Bulduri Horticultural School in Latvia and the Palusalu family in Estonia we experienced gardens, landscapes, culture and companies with lots of beauty and innovation. Take a look at the inspiring photoreport here (link).
The 59th CEJH congress was held in Sweden 22-28 of August, 2018. The event attracted 58 young horticulturists from eight different countries to the region of Skåne and the city of Malmö. It was a week with really hot weather pushing 30 degrees some days. The programme consisted of visits to nurseries, roof gardens, an apple farm, greenhouse production, landscapers and more. A congress tree was planted at the Swedish University of Agriculture in Alnarp. We thank all sponsors and participants!
