The Nursery & Garden Industry Queensland (NGIQ) has successfully applied for funding under the FederalGovernments “Caring for our Country – Landcare Open Grants” to develop a Grow Me Instead (GMI) program along the east coast. The $190 000 project will create GMI Guides for three specific Queensland environments including the Wet Tropics, Dry Tropics and the Sub-Tropics. NGIQ will employ a GMI Coordinator (Mr. Barry Naylor) to oversee the project from orchestrating GMI reference groups through to the communication and education of stakeholders on the final outcomes of the project.
