Photo: SuppliedNominations for membership of a new national Women In Horticulture leadership group are being sought as part of the group's establishment process. Following a session during the Horticulture New Zealand (HortNZ) conference in July, a mandate to set up the group was given. The group would be open to all those involved within the horticulture industry, including men. She said while there were other regional groups for women in horticulture, which were region specific, the leadership group would not supercede them. The idea for the leadership group was first discussed following the release of a report by market research group UMR during the 2017 conference.
