Based in Nelson, New Zealand, Nelson Plant Guy is a small but passionate team of two humans and two very important dogs — built from a shared obsession with plants and the community that comes with them.

What started as a hobby quickly grew into a community-focused business centred around unique plants, transparency, and making collecting more accessible across New Zealand. Community has always come first for us. We’re collectors first, growers second, and enablers somewhere in between.

From tissue culture projects and carefully sourced plants to well-grown collector favourites, everything we offer is chosen because we genuinely love growing it ourselves. We believe the plant hobby should be exciting, welcoming, and shared openly — not hidden behind gatekeeping or inflated hype.

Whether you’re searching for your next wishlist plant, learning about propagation, or simply enjoying the chaos that comes with being a collector, we’re glad you’re here.

From our growing spaces in Nelson to plant shelves all around New Zealand — thank you for being part of the journey 🌿
