Mary Helliar International Travel ScholarshipAs you may have read in a recent IPPS Newsletter we are launching a new travel scholarship which will combine the funds made available through our existing Mary Helliar Travel Scholarship with matched funding from IPPS International. This Scholarship will be awarded to IPPS members only. The scholarship is a great opportunity for members to both access funds, and the international network of IPPS membership to secure the best possible learning experience.

Robert Garner Award
This award recognises the contribution of the ‘hands-on’ propagator to the horticulture industry. It was instigated in 1993 to mark the silver jubilee of the GB&I Region of IPPS.
An award is made every five years and the recipient is chosen by the past five GB&I Presidents, to a person from the ‘cutting face’ of propagation who they believe has most helped to develop propagation craft skills by passing on their experience and techniques. The recipient may or may not be an IPPS member.

Rose Bowl
The Rose Bowl is awarded each year to the person who, in the opinion of the current GB&I Region President, has best exemplified the IPPS motto of seeking and sharing and who has done most to promote the interests of IPPS and of professionalism in plant propagation and production or ornamental horticulture more widely. The recipient may or may not be a member of IPPS.
The Rose Bowl itself was a gift to the GB&I Region from Jim Wells, the founding father of IPPS, in 1973.
