Rasmussen Gardens is a garden centre at 274 Old Renwick Rd in Springlands, Blenheim, rated 5.0 on Google from 55 reviews. Its website describes seeds, including chillies and tomatoes, indoor plants, subtropical fruit trees, vegetables, herbs and handmade pottery, with nationwide shipping and an in-store range.
Chilli and tomato seedlings need warm soil and frost-free nights before they go outside, so ask when your region is safe to plant. Pots that dry out quickly often need better drainage or a different potting mix, so describe the problem to staff or bring a photo. Subtropical fruit trees and indoor plants each have their own light and water needs, so check the label before you buy.
