Best garden centre In Auckland IMO. Well stocked and well priced. Open from 0730 am every day except Sundays and mondays. Make the trip there, you won't be disappointed. And wear gumboots as it's quite muddy after a rain shower in places.

A unique Auckland institution. Amazing to wander through. Like a bush walk. Price competitive too.

A slice of paradise in the middle of Tamaki Makaurau. Well worth a visit to find a huge range of healthy indoor and outdoor plants at reasonable prices. Chat to Roger too - he's got so much experience you'll benefit from before buying.
