Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Seasons 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.

This year we were pleased to launch the fresh look Grower2grower E-zine, offering enhanced functionality with the ability to search for previous articles and upload information.

The biggest highlight of all was we were able to hold events. The Grower2Grower Golf Day was an awesome day that raised $2,700 for the Cancer Society. Save the date for next year’s Grower Golf Day – Friday 15th of September at the Pukekohe Golf Club- we look forward to seeing you there!

We had the pleasure of hosting the NZ Gourmet breakfast, Marc Groenewegen and Toon Oomen gave a fantastic discussion/presentation, thanks to all that attended. If you would like to hold an event in 2023, and would like G2G to organise it for you, please contact us anytime.

Next year is a milestone year for Grower2Grower as we celebrate five years of E-zine publications. We are now up to 128 editions. We endeavour to deliver articles that are informative and add value to growers, students and suppliers to the industry, this year our audience reached over 55,000 users, a huge achievement.

We will now have a short break and be back in January with our 129th Edition.

Merry Christmas to everyone, please stay safe and see you in 2023!
