Meet gardening content creator and Tui ambassador Poppy Prendergast

In 2022, Poppy Prendergast left her full-time pharmacy job and decided to study horticulture and organic primary production at Lincoln and SIT. When her parents bought a property outside Alexandra in Central Otago, she decided to leave Christchurch and join them, renovating a second dwelling near her mum and dad's home. The 27-year-old content creator, whose farmyard includes two kunekune pigs, cats, dogs and chickens, juggles co-managing her mum's clothing boutique with pharmacy technician work and being the "official garden gal" for Tui. "As is typical for someone with ADHD I have lots of different hobbies and interests, some are fleeting but others, mainly gardening, have stuck like glue."
