We are a small Tasmanian group of dedicated plant propagation specialists who are all part of the much larger International Plant Propagators Society. We are mostly horticulture professionals working in a range of areas including nursery production, retailing, media and teaching.
   The society's principal aim is to share information regarding plants their propagation and growth.
This site provides an opportunity for Tasmanian representatives to promote the state, national and international activities from a local perspective.
