Today's Northern Rivers NGINA tour of the Boyds Bay Group's nurseries, was a resounding success. Around 35 growers and allied industries were joined by NGINA CEO Mike Mehigan and Colin Fruk from GIQ in a tour of their 3 properties on the NSW/QLD border. The day began with torrential rain but ended with a wonderful barbecue in the full blazing sun, providing a valuable opportunity to observe the inner workings of a highly accomplished landscaping business, and a good catch up with other growers and allied industries. The NR NGINA thank the Boyds Bay team, including John, Glenn, and Ian, for their warm hospitality and for organizing a most enjoyable and enlightening visit.
