Kiwi Plants Limited

Kiwi Plants Ltd was established in 1994 by Fred Allen, and what started out as a small part-time business is now thriving and a major influence in the New Zealand native plant industry.

Kiwi Plants Ltd is committed to the sustainability and conservation of New Zealand endemic and indigenous flora.

We are recognised as meeting one of the highest standards of biodiversity requirements within the New Zealand nursery industry and by clients who choose to order plants from specific ecological districts and micro climates. All nursery methodologies are of the highest standard and meet the NZHITO's training requirements.

Our customer base encompasses commercial nurseries in New Zealand and overseas, the Department Of Conservation, regional and district councils, commercial and conservation organisations, Iwi trust boards, trusts, charities, private companies, community groups and individuals.

We complete rare and endangered species recovery programmes and specialise in supply, planting and maintenance contracts within revegetation, specialised habitat and forest restoration contracts.
