A good garden centre helps you choose plants that suit your garden, so bring a photo and note sun, shade and soil, then ask staff which varieties thrive locally. Spring and autumn are the main planting seasons in the Bay of Plenty, and bulbs planted in autumn flower in spring. Look for healthy roots and leaves rather than flowers alone. Stock changes through the year, so call ahead if you are after a particular plant. A cafe on site makes it easy to turn a visit into a relaxed morning.
For plants, gifts and a coffee in Tauranga, Décor Gardenworld is a popular, well-stocked garden stop.
