Nursery innovations to solve labour crisis

摘要

The nursery which supplies commercial growers around the country, usually employs about 200 staff through winter including up to 140 seasonal staff. But its development manager Bruno Simpson says the business is tracking to be chronically 15 people short and up to 30 this winter. That may mean the nursery's lifting period for trees may go on longer, customers will have to wait longer before they can plant those trees and the next growing season may be delayed.
