Grower2Grower are delighted to announce the principal sponsor of the inaugural G2G golf tournament is the Horticentre Group.
Pleased to introduce the sponsors
Our Major Sponsor will be at hole number 1 on the course. A huge thank you to the Horticentre Group for their support.
Horticentre was established in 1981 ‘by growers for growers’. The business has grown from its early days of supporting covered crops in Auckland to a business that supports all horticultural crops in all regions.
The catch phrase ‘by growers for growers’ has changed to ‘driving crop performance’ to reflect the ongoing value this business can add to a grower’s crop; well sourced, high-quality products and technical expertise that is second to none.
The Horticentre Group consists of three well established brands; Horticentre, TasmanCrop and HortFertplus. The Horticentre Group is delighted to support the Grower2Grower Golf Day and the benefactor of that day the Cancer Society.
