Arb Australia took part in the Melbourne International Flower and Garden show 2025. Attending the event was part of the Arborists Don’t Grow on Trees campaign, which is ultimately about recruiting more people to work in arboriculture, in order to address the skills shortage in our industry.
Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show provided a perfect opportunity to introduce the importance of trees and professional tree care to a younger audience.
