City Jungle calls itself the first inner-city plant shop in Auckland's CBD. It is an indoor plant shop first, with more than 500 plants on offer, along with fresh flowers and bouquets, pots, plant care products and a range of gifts. Some of the gifts are made in New Zealand. The shop also runs plant care workshops and offers Auckland-wide delivery. Its website describes it as an oasis in the city, which suits a business that keeps indoor plants in a busy part of town.
The shop is at 23 Customs Street East, but the entrance is off Fort Lane, on the side of the Citibank building and near the Snickel Lane entrance. Every Friday, customers can bring in their houseplants to be repotted for free, and old grow pots can be recycled there. That makes it a handy stop for someone who wants a plant for an office or apartment and help looking after it. The website also lists a gift range for birthdays, Father's Day and Valentine's Day.
