Dig In and Discover: Introducing Nursery Map

Vector Group Charitable Trust (Te Puke, Bay of Plenty) has launched Nursery Map — a New Zealand directory that helps growers, gardeners, and community projects find local nurseries and plant sellers.

Finding the right plant — especially less common food-forest and subtropical stock — should not mean endless searching. Nurserymap.nz connects plant lovers with the people who grow, nurture, and sell plants, starting in your own region.

Who it is for

Whether you are an experienced grower chasing a specific species or a beginner looking for a nearby garden centre, the platform is built to be simple: search, map, and connect — nationwide, with strong value for Te Puke and Bay of Plenty growers.

More than a list

Nurserymap.nz is a living map of New Zealand’s plant community — from large nurseries to small specialty sellers. It supports local businesses and makes it easier to start or expand gardens, food forests, and kai resilience projects.

The tool sits in Vector Group’s practical growing infrastructure — alongside work such as Troppo, Grow Te Puke, and regional food-forest networks — by removing a common barrier: knowing where to source plants locally.
