The Bay of Plenty Young Grower Competition Gala Dinner is a highlight of the local horticultural calendar, providing a fantastic night out in support of young talent.

The dinner includes the competition's final component, a speech contest: this is your chance to hear our young horticulturists share their thoughts on industry-related topics. The awards ceremony is also part of the gala dinner.

Canapés, a three-course meal, and welcome drinks are included in your ticket price.

This event is always a sell out; make sure you get in early so you don't miss out!
