Plant subscription services


 Living in a big city can make it hard to grow your own plants. Sometimes you wish you could eat your own spinach, grow your own herbs, or get in on the tomato craze for the season.

Discovering garden space with no know-how is also rough! As a part of our gardening services, we look after fruit trees and vege gardens- but what if you have a lone lemon tree in the backyard that you want to tend to? What if you want to do it yourself?

Plant subscription services are our solution.

Every month, you will receive a new plant, along with instructions on how to grow it, what to use it for, and what you can do once it’s all used up. Or…

Every month, you will receive a tailor made package, helping you through what your garden needs from you at this time of year.

This is a fantastic gift for new home owners, apartment dwellers, starving students, and anyone who needs a hand in keeping a garden of whatever size. Check out the range of options below!

The Very Hungry Gardener
from NZ$12.00

An indoor edible subscription- something we have been providing to friends for a while now- is now available nationwide.

Every month you will receive-

-2x herbs OR 2x vegetables (we recommend ordering both the herbs and vege boxes, to receive 4 pots per month), in pots, either at their adult size or close to it.

-Instructions for each pot, so you can keep your babies alive for as long as you’d like.

-Advice on how to grow them, if you want them long-term.

Regardless of your experience growing herbs or vegetables, you will find this kit a relatively simple way to learn how to incorporate homegrown food into your diet. We have been growing herbs and veges on our windowsill for years- there’s nothing better than cutting spring onion straight from the plant to use in your cooking, without a torch in the dark!

Because this is a monthly subscription, and many herbs and vegetables are seasonal, we recommend throwing caution to the wind and trusting our selection. If you’d like to trial a kit, but are worried you’ll be left with a weird plant that you don’t know how to eat, get in touch and we can let you know what’s on the menu in the coming months.

We are currently trialling an outdoor edibles box, filled with a seasonal plant selection for you to plant in the soil. If you would be interesed in this pack, get in touch and we can keep you updated.

The Very Green Succulent Box
from NZ$12.00

Receive a new succulent baby every month! A great choice for a sunny office, flat or someone trying to grow plants outside for the first time.

Each box comes with a succulent in a jar or mug, care instructions, and its own wee topping of stones, sand, pebbles or bark to suit the succulent of the month.

The gift box has two months worth of plants in it and is gift wrapped- a great housewarming gift for students moving out of home.

The Very Green Houseplant Subscription
from NZ$15.00

Want your own indoor jungle? Struggling to get an assortment of beauties? Sick of waiting for the big stores to bring in new shipments, all from the same 3 nurseries? Combing facebook groups to find someone to trade cuttings with?

Well, worry no more. This wee box will turn up on your doorstep monthly with a new, different baby plant to nurture and love. Read the info sheet on its favourite spots, give it a water and watch it grow!

Examples of indoor houseplants you will receive are-
-Tradescantia zebrino
-Heart leaf Philodendron
-Aspidistra (cast iron plant)
-Maranta (prayer plant)
-Chain of hearts
Many of the plants for sale on the website, and some from our private collection, are included.

The subscription begins with easy to grow, classic indoor plants, and as your thumbs get greener, we introduce you to more exotic plants. Receive a new surprise plant each month!

Order a new surprise box at any time and be confident that you will not receive the same plant. Each plant is in a plastic pot, with its own matching mulch on top of the soil mix. They come with info cards to support you to grow your plants, so this subscription is great for beginners as well as experts who want some more variety in their life. These plants begin their lives with you at 7cm tall, so you can watch them grow.

Free shipping.

Large seasonal herb and vege pots
NZ$40.00

In the works- available July 2019

These large pots are a great option for newbie gardeners, or apartment dwellers, who want to grow their own food but lack a lot of space.

The vege pots incorporate vegetables that tend to get a little bigger- tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, peas, for example. They come with everything you need to grow them for a full season.

The larger herb pots are another great option for a season’s worth of herbs. If you just need a sprig or two of herbs for your favourite dish, this is a great option for long-term herbs, that will last until you eat them all!

Shipping is included in the price. We also encourage you to use the shipping bags enclosed with the product, to send back the pot and dirt, at the end of the season.
