Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2023
Season’s Greetings from the Grower2Grower Team
Marie and I would like to wish all Grower2Grower readers and customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Thank you to all our wonderful advertisers and our exclusive Sponsor the Horticentre Trust who continue to support us.
The biggest highlight, again this year was the second annual Grower2Grower Golf Day that raised $2,760 for the Hawkes Bay Fruit Growers Charitable Trust. Save the date for next year’s Grower Golf Day – Friday 13th of September 2024 at the Pukekohe Golf Club- we look forward to seeing you there!
If you would like to hold an event in 2024, and would like G2G to organise it for you, please contact us anytime.
We will now have a short break and be back in January with our 154th Edition.
Merry Christmas to everyone, happy growing over the summer break – I know how busy it gets so be careful and stay safe. See you in 2024!
