Natural Tree Products

For anyone with a green thumb this place is heaven! I could get lost for hours walking through the array 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!

Who knew that tucked in the backstreets of Otahuhu was this beautiful green oasis?!
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.
