🌿 About Us – Your Enablers of Plant Joy & Green Goodness

At Nelson Plant Guy, we do things differently. We’re not just slinging plants—we’re building a more joyful, sustainable, and community-driven plant world right here in Aotearoa.

We’re a small, passionate crew based in sunny Nelson, obsessed with rare foliage, healthy roots, and happy humans. Every plant is grown with care, every order is hand-packed with love (and a bit of cheek), and everything we do is rooted in our love for plants, people, and this awesome community.

We care deeply about supporting a more self-sustaining plant market—where local growers thrive, knowledge is shared, and rare beauties are grown responsibly. You’ll even find us on the road across New Zealand, popping up at markets and plant events to meet our amazing supporters face-to-face and bring the jungle vibes in person.

Oh—and yes, we’ve got two resident staffies who keep team morale high and occasionally try to help with deliveries. 🐶

💚 Why We’re Doing It Differently

Let’s be honest—we’re not your average plant shop, and we don’t want to be.

We hate the word “customer.” Around here, you’re part of the NPG crew—a community of plant lovers who help shape everything we do. From chatting online to sharing pics of your latest leafy haul, hearing from you makes our day. And imagining someone opening a box and smiling at their new plant? That’s the kind of magic we live for.

To give back, we’ve built in a few perks that go beyond the usual:

– Variegation Protection on select rare plants—what you see is exactly what you get
– 60-Day Price Guarantee so you’re covered if prices drop
– NPG Rewards Program, designed to reward loyalty and save you money—because let’s face it, times are tough, and plant joy should still be accessible

We keep it chill, honest, and supportive—just the way it should be. Whether you’re here for the unicorns, the good vibes, or just something pretty for the windowsill, we’re stoked to have you as part of the journey.

And we’re not done yet—we’re still exploring new initiatives to support the planty community and create better access to those dream plants we all obsess over.

We’re proud to be part of Aotearoa’s leafy underground—doing things differently, growing things right, and always enabling your next planty obsession.

🌱 With love,
Matt, Phoebe, Mahuta & Moet
