Our Friends in IPPS -

International President's Message  

Jim Johnson

Jim Johnson


Before the internet and social media
networks, nursery growers came to IPPS meetings to get to know one another, renew friendships and to broaden their knowledge.  Today, many in our industry have not yet embraced electronic communication to replace that connection and that is one more reason why IPPS meetings are so relevant to this day.


 Just like we plan for crops with very long production cycles, the relationships we make in our businesses need to be nurtured more than by the odd transitory online posting. And there's no better way to nurture and grow your contacts list than at an IPPS meeting.  See outgoing International President Jim Johnson's message to learn how important your contacts can be to the future of IPPS!  Click here.
