A little about Bryan…Dracaena Farm Nursery is a production nursery, growing good-quality, high-performing plants for the Retail market for over 23 years. A family owned and operated business, Dracaena Farm Nursery has received numerous awards at both State (5 awards) and National (2 awards, 2009, 2010) level.

Bryan’s been strongly involved in the Nursery and Garden Industry for some 30 years. He was the Nursery and Garden Industry Queensland President a few years ago, and just stepped down in November 2011 from 6 years of service at National level in his roles as Nursery & Garden Industry Australia Board Member, Vice-President and President, as well as a Board Member for the National Industry Advisory Council (IAC Committee) for several years.

He’s passionate about plants, gardening and business … and he also LOVES his fishing too, when he can find the time.
