Hello, this is Amy from Auckland, a third-year B.HortSci student and the Marketing Manager for the Society this year.

Our field has the power to shape the way we grow, produce, and think about food in a changing world. Iā€™m excited to be part of the society and to help visually capture and share the incredible possibilities within the horticulture sector!

Hi Iā€™m Luke from Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty. I am a second year Hort student majoring in Plant Production and this year I am the Massey Horticulture Society Greenhouse Manager.

Last summer I worked with Southern Cross Horticulture on SunGold and RubyRed orchards across the Bay of Plenty.

Iā€™m looking for students keen to help out and take part in growing plants in the societyā€™s greenhouse.

Hello, my name is Sam from Tauranga and Iā€™m a third year student currently studying a Bachelor of Horticultural Science at Massey University. I am fulfilling the role as treasurer for the Hort Society in 2026

I come from the Bay of Plenty and did my first placement on the family business, Taylor Strawberry Nurseries. For my most recent practicum I worked on a kiwifruit orchard doing tasks such as thinning, girdling, and pruning.

I look forward to meeting and interacting with you throughout the rest of the year.

Hi, Iā€™m Thomas Hughes, your Secretary for 2026. Iā€˜m an international student from Argentina, currently in my second year studying Agribusiness at Massey.

I have an eclectic background that led me to develop a deep connection to nature and farming.

I joined the Hort Society because I believe itā€™s a place where students can truly flourish ā€” building knowledge and real industry connections. Iā€˜m looking forward to being part of what we achieve together this year.

Hi, Iā€™m Lucy from Tauranga, your vice president for 2026.

I grew up surrounded by the kiwifruit industry, which inspired me to study a Horticulture Production major, following in my parentsā€™ footsteps.

Iā€™m currently in my second year and hope to become a horticulture consultant in the future. Iā€™m excited to see what the committee achieves this year and to be part of the society.

Hi my name is Kate from Tauranga, I am a third year horticulture science student, and am excited to be the Massey Horticulture Society President for 2026.

For the second summer in a row I spent my practicum at Start Afresh doing research and development. I was assigned three projects with kiwifruit as the core focus for each of them and spent a lot of time on orchards carrying out investigative work.

I look forward to meeting you all at future events!
