Over 10 years of growing with the community
What began more than 10 years ago has become a trusted nursery recognised throughout Whitianga, the Coromandel and Eastern Waikato.
Over the years the range has expanded steadily, yet the core hasn’t shifted – it’s still about strong local plants and helping you bring the best out of your garden. It’s also a place where community ties matter deeply, where advice is shared freely.
Every project, whether small or ambitious, gets treated with the same care and genuine attention.
People who know this land and what grows here
The nursery is led by a team of awesome people who have a passion for gardening.
The Hands on Crew know what that survives coastal winds, salty air and sandy soils because they’ve grown it themselves. You’ll always step away with advice that suits your patch of earth, not a pushy sales pitch.
Visitors often stop in for a chat about what’s happening in their garden and head home with plants for gardeners picked to thrive in their spot. Sometimes just a conversation sparks the right idea.
