About Palmers

Welcome to Palmers, where you’ll find a Garden Centre full of a bunch of passionate gardening people ready to share the joy of good living with you. We’re passionate about creating beautiful spaces – both in our stores and in your home.

We’re in the business of growing – so it’s no surprise we’ve got strong Kiwi roots and country-wide offshoots. We’ve been helping New Zealanders grow great gardens since 1912, starting as nursery and we’ve been innovating ever since. We’re proud to be locally owned and operated. Today we’re all about creating beautiful spaces – at our place and yours.

From the moment you walk through our doors you’ll be welcomed like family with a smile from ear to ear. Whether you’re a guru in the garden or completely green, our local experts can meet you on any level and are keen to help.  We can talk roses and rhizomes – but we’re in our happy place helping you transform your place into your little slice of paradise.

We’re proud to be locally owned and operated, packed with quality products and expert advice for your home and garden. It’s our mission to delight you, whether you’re after something colourful for the deck, greening up your office space, searching for the perfect gift or just need a shot of caffeine – you won’t be disappointed.

So for the freshest products and inspiring ideas, call into your local Palmers – we’ll get you growing.
