Congratulations to Sonny Murray, 2026 HNS Honorary Member

2026-09-24T18:37:02+00:00

Please join us in congratulating Sonny Murray, our 2026 Horticulture NS Honorary Member! Though normally presented at Congress, varying circumstances led us to presenting the 2026 award this week at Millen Farms. The Horticulture Nova Scotia Honorary Member award is given to someone who not only exemplifies outstanding support for our industry, but also of our organization. And this year’s recipient meets and exceeds in both areas. Sonny has been an amazing asset to the berry industry as well to Horticulture Nova Scotia, and is well deserving of this recognition!
