Ira Puspa Kencana, serving as CEO of Costus Garden Indonesia, recently participated in the AIPH Spring Meeting 2025: International Horticultural Conference, marking a significant milestone both for her career and the company's global engagement. Her presence at this prestigious international horticultural gathering underscores her role not just as a national leader in landscape design, but also as a proactive contributor to the global discourse on horticulture and sustainable green practices.
At the conference, Ira shared insights drawn from her experiences leading Costus Garden Indonesia—a firm known for blending artistic vision with ecological sensitivity in garden and landscape projects. She emphasized the importance of innovation, local plant diversity, and integrating sustainable practices into landscaping design. By presenting on these themes, she positioned Indonesia’s horticultural potential on the global stage and fostered dialogue between international peers and local practitioners.
Beyond her keynote or presentation, Ira’s attendance signaled Costus Garden Indonesia’s ambition to collaborate internationally and to remain attuned to emerging trends, research, and partnerships in horticulture. Engaging with policymakers, industry leaders, and fellow designers at AIPH 2025 provides Costus Garden with pathways to amplify its impact, form alliances, and exchange knowledge across borders.
Through this international appearance, Ira delivers a powerful message: that a local company can think globally, elevate domestic design practice, and contribute meaningfully to the future of sustainable green spaces worldwide. Her story at AIPH 2025 reflects a vision that bridges artistry, ecology, and leadership—and invites her audience to imagine what’s possible when passion meets purpose on the world stage.
