A plant nursery and sourcing business on Fred Taylor Drive in Whenuapai, west Auckland, selling to landscapers, commercial projects and home gardeners. Its trade prices are offered to all customers, not only to the trade, according to the website.
The nursery has an on-site garden market, and it also sources plants that are not in stock. Its range includes palms, tropicals, trees, indoor plants and ground covers. Customers can email an order for hard-to-find plants, and the company sources them, delivers them and sorts them for collection. It also says it can source a whole plant list from growers so the customer can collect from one location, and that sizes and grades can be mixed to suit a budget.
Customers who have written about Concept Botanica describe the team as friendly, knowledgeable and quick to reply. Several landscapers say they have bought from the nursery for years, and one says the staff help with packing plants into vehicles. A dog-friendly site is mentioned by one landscaping client. Several say that when a plant is not in stock, the team suggests a suitable alternative.
Our pick in Whenuapai for a landscaper or home gardener who needs a range of plants sourced in one place.
