Christchurch-based NZPPI members, partners, supporters plus horticulture students and Lincoln staff are warmly welcome to watch one of the challenge days of the Young Plant Producer competition in June.
The event is being held at Lincoln University on Tuesday June 24th and Wednesday June 25th followed by the awards dinner on Wednesday night (tickets required, more details to follow) where the finalists will present their speeches before judges deliberate then announce the winner. Spectators are welcome to watch the Wednesday challenges (more details to come).
The competition, organised by NZPPI, hosted by IPPS and supported by the Horticentre Charitable Trust and Lincoln University, tests competitors on the skills needed to run a successful plant production business.
The finalists receive an invaluable boost of experience, industry insight and mentorship, plus the chance to win a $3000 fund to advance their career. The winner also gains automatic entry to the Young Horticulturalist of the Year award.
