2012 Young Landscaper of the Year Minimize

Landscaping New Zealand Young Landscaper of the Year

HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES????  We are looking for the Young Landscaper of the Year 2012

CONCEPT

The concept is to create a competition that will generate interest, inspiration to, and acknowledgement of young landscapers.

We are planning a one-day event in each region, which will include theory and a series of practical tests.  The winner of each of these competitions will participate in the final to compete for the Young Landscaper of the Year.

The winner of the Young Landscaper of the Year will then go on to compete in the Young Horticulturist of the Year 2012.

To Enter –

  1.     You must be working full-time in the landscape sector (for at least 3 years).  
  2.     You must be under 31 years of age as at the end of December 2012.  
  3.     Regional winners must be prepared to participate in the Young Landscaper of the Year finals to be held in Hamilton during our Conference in July 2012.
  4.     The winner must be available to attend the grand final of The Young Horticulturist of the Year.

If this sounds like you, or you have staff that may be interested, complete the attached entry form.

Come on, it will be great fun!

Every entry that meets the criteria will receive a free one year student membership to Landscaping New Zealand.

Landscaping New Zealand held the final of the AGMARDT Young Landscaper of the Year 2009 at the Wintec campus in Hamilton on Saturday the 8th of August. 

The competition was made up of 6 practical activities - Plant identification, planting, pruning, propagation, set out and paving. 

These were run over the morning.  Hirequip were good enough to lend us the heavy machinery that we required for this competition.  Wintec supplied us everything else.


The afternoon competition was made up of the written exam, quantity take off and pricing exercise, interview and speech.
Our AGMARDT Young Landscaper of the Year 2009 is -  Erin Farrow.  

Erin has entered the competition before and this really showed this her presentation of her speech and practical exercises.  Brad and Alex were great competitors and the competition was very close.

Erin will now go on to represent the Landscape sector at the Young Horticulturist of the Year 2009 in November.
