Rainbow Park Nurseries is one of New Zealand’s leading wholesale plant growers - supplying over 2.7 million plants annually to major retail chains, independent garden centres, florists, landscapers, and developers nationwide. Operating from a 15-hectare, state-of-the-art nursery in Ramarama, South Auckland, we grow a broad range of indoor and outdoor plants, trees, shrubs, vegetables, and ornamentals to consistent commercial standards.

Wholesale supply is the core of what we do. Our production is purpose-built for volume; with heated glasshouses, outdoor container nurseries, and a sophisticated production planning system that allows us to forecast, schedule, and meet the supply commitments our retail partners depend on. Whether you’re a national chain managing category-wide procurement or an independent retailer sourcing high-quality seasonal lines, we have the scale and systems to deliver.

Every plant that leaves Rainbow Park travels under the Enrich with Nature name, a mark recognised across New Zealand garden retail for quality, consistency, and presentation. Our dedicated in-house truck fleet handles distribution from Kerikeri to Invercargill, ensuring plants arrive in the best possible condition, on time, and on spec.
