A Special Place

A magical garden and subtropical nursery set around a small lake in a hidden coastal valley behind Matapouri Bay, Northland New Zealand.
We are specialists in new and unusual subtropical plants for NZ conditions.
We sell from the nursery as well as mail order and delivery to gardeners and landscapers throughout New Zealand. I've had 30 years of experience as a nurseryman and designer so you get down-to-earth, no nonsense advice about growing and design.

We sell during the Summer months from 'Plant Wholesalers' Plant Market at 160 State Highway 16 at Whenuapai to landscapers and retailers.

Check it out on-line: www.plantwholesalers.co.nz for details. It's a great idea for one-stop-plant-sourcing for the Auckland trade.

You can visit Subtropical Gardens and Matapouri Bay

Visitors are very welcome to explore both the garden and the nursery every weekend and public holiday, 9am - 3pm and by arrangement during the week.
Make a day-trip to Matapouri when you visit us. Stop off at beautiful Matapouri beach, also visit Tawapou Coastal Natives Nursery (Guy and Sandra Bowden; www.tawapou.co.nz and email)__________________________________________________________________________
