Privacy statement
Information in the registration form will be used only by the conference administrators as they see fit to run the conference efficiently.
No information in the registration form will be passed on to any third party.
Sustainability
The conference is designed to be as sustainable as possible. When possible, private transport will not be used for garden visits. We aim to be as paper-free as possible. The programme and conference notes are on the website and can be downloaded from it. Conference bags, brochures and booklets are superfluous, and to reduce landfill, will not be issued.
Health and Safety
Any delegate who has a respiratory infection will not be allowed access to any event.
Should there be a high-risk respiratory infection status in New Zealand, masks may be mandatory on buses and the conference venue.
Gardens can present potential health and safety risks. Any delegate visiting a garden accepts these potential risks and will not make any claim against garden owners, Heritage Roses New Zealand or the conference organising committee or any individual or organisation involved with the running of the conference.
The conference is smokefree. No smoking will be allowed at any garden or venue or their grounds, or transportation.
Central Otago sun is usually very hot and strong in clear, dry air. Be sun-savvy: use SPF50+ sunscreen and wear a hat, even on a cloudy day.
Garden Visit Protocol
No plant material shall be removed from any garden.
Transport to and from gardens will be by bus. No private vehicles will be allowed except for the pre-conference tour and those with wheelchair mobility.
Limited Mobility
The conference cannot provide wheelchair access for bus or shuttle transport. Unfortunately, any delegate in a wheelchair will need to provide private transport.
All other delegates will visit gardens by bus or shuttle van.
Those with otherwise impaired mobility are requested to take the option to travel by shuttle van to streamline bus ingress and egress.
