Bay of Plenty Young Grower Competition Day

The Bay of Plenty Young Grower competition brings together the region’s most talented young horticulturists to compete for the 2025 title. Throughout the day, they will compete in a series of practical and theoretical challenges designed to test their skills and industry knowledge.

“The Bay of Plenty Young Grower is such a great platform for local Young Growers to develop their skills and build valuable industry connections. This year's competitors represent the future of the horticulture industry. As a former winner and long-time participant, I have had the privilege of witnessing Young Growers advance in their Horticultural careers through the competition. We encourage everyone to join us and support these talented young growers as they showcase their skills.”
