Felt pulled to write a review after reading others opinions of the owner, Roger himself. It is…read moreamusing to me that others may have found him rude, he has always been immensely friendly, an encyclopaedia of plant wisdom and knowledge, and a remarkable character. Perhaps if you are used to and now demand the bot standard employer that acts robotic, stay paying big bucks at Bunnings. He is the owner, and has clearly poured his heart and soul into this place, perhaps you need these qualities to be able to appreciate him and this phenomenal place. This place is an oasis away from all other plant stores, its an experience, a journey, one that is filled with wonder and awe. You should never come here in a rush, nor should you ever be in a rush to purchase gods gift that Roger has perfected - nature itself. I adore coming here and could easily spend hours pottering about admiring this maze like plant nursery. Thank you for creating this place!

Who knew that tucked in the backstreets of Otahuhu was this beautiful green oasis?!…read more This was my first visit to the garden centre, Natural Tree Products (NTP), who have the largest range of indoor plants in NZ, and I must say I was impressed. There were Cycads, Ficus Trees, Queens Palms and a whole host of Sub-Tropical plants. My green fingers were quite literally tingling as I walked from greenhouse to greenhouse. Whilst Natural Tree Products specializes in Plant Hire, their nursery is also open for the public from Monday to Saturday and with prices lower than most garden centres, this place is well worth checking out. On my trip to NTP, I also discovered (and fell in love with) Woolly Pockets. Originally hailing from San Francisco and sold locally by NTP, these clever little planters are an accessible and affordable way to create your very own living wall. Made 100% from recycled plastic and starting at only $50 a pop, these things are genius and as soon as our kitchen is renovated I will be installing a succulent wall ASAP! Also good to note, is PalmCo, the big palm professional is down the same driveway.

For anyone with a green thumb this place is heaven! I could get lost for hours walking through the…read morearray of palms, ferns and specialty plant life. I get so bored of the limited selection and quality at standard garden centers so was absolutely chuffed when I heard of this gem in Otahuhu that has an enormous selection and premium quality without the premium price tag. These guys know their plants too so can offer some great advice and help plan for every type of garden. If you are lucky you might spot the adorable sausage dog Frank who is lucky enough to call this place his second home. Get in quick before the rest of the green thumbs out there discover this hidden sanctuary!

If you aren't much of a green thumb, but really want to have a garden, Succulents and Cacti are the…read moreway to go. I have a collection by my front door which I think I forgot to water for the past year, and they are still going strong. Succulents are like the indestructible, bionic man of the plant world. Coromandel Cacti is the place to go for your succulent/cactus supply. It's weird turning up, ringing the buzzer and waiting - you have to wonder what is going on behind the ominous gates - those succulent leaves are rather juicy after all... Once you are inside, all thoughts are forgotten. It seems like there are acres of plants in here, and it's almost a guarantee you will be leaving with something - even if just to justify the journey out here and the ominous feeling of the building.

Do you love cacti and succulents? Are you tired of visiting all those plant stores when all you…read morereally want is a good cactus? Sick and tired of regular plant stores not having a decent cacti section? Well then you need to pay a visit to Coromandel Cacti and Succulents for you cactus fix. This big old shed of a building contains cacti as far as the eye can see. It's a bit weird though when you turn up and have to ring the buzzer in order to be let into the store. I'm not sure if they are guarding against a big cactus heist, but once you're in you're in cactus heaven my friend. The staff know what they're talking about, so ask them if you have any botanical related questions.

Stirling's Garden Center in Greenwoods corner sits beside a busy bus stop but only because of a…read morerecent accident did I finally manage to look inside the store. It isn't much to look at from the road: a dirty window showing a converted courtyard full of plants languishing in the shade of the house/ store. But due to a collapsed awning and fear that I would never get to look inside this little garden center, I decided to check it out. And the interior was unsurprisingly uninspiring. Stirling's seems like a confusion of business and personal life. It has a rather disjointed and awkward feel, with no friendly service to buffer this. Is this a garage or a store room or part of the shop? It's easy to see why most of the small, independent garden centers fell before the corporate big-wigs.
