About Us.
Welcome to Growing Spectrum!
Established in 1988 and taken to exciting new heights by Sarah Hales and Cliff Scott in 2019, we’re embracing a fresh era of growth and innovation. At Growing Spectrum, our foundation is built on honesty, integrity, and strong family values. But we’re also forward-thinkers, always exploring new technologies and practices to ensure we lead the way in sustainability for future generations.
Over the years, we’ve earned the trust and respect of garden centres across New Zealand, and we’re proud to be recognised as a market leader and award-winning wholesale nursery. Growing plants isn’t just what we do—it’s our passion! We’re here to help New Zealand’s passionate gardeners enjoy the best quality flowers, plants, and trees, and we consider it a true privilege to be the first link in that vital supply chain.
With a nursery in Manawatu alongside our original Kihikihi site, Growing Spectrum New Zealand Ltd is more vibrant than ever. We’re a wholesale nursery that supplies top-quality plants to garden centres nationwide, producing over 1 million plants annually, including a stunning range of deciduous trees, shrubs, and ornamental perennials.
At every stage of production, we maintain strict quality control. It all starts in the propagation department, where our team carefully raises cuttings, seeds, and seedlings. From there, our production crew nurtures each plant through its life stages, and our dedicated dispatch team ensures only the best make it into garden centres across the country.
And when it comes to delivery, we don’t leave anything to chance. We use our own fleet of trucks, guaranteeing that everything arrives on time and in perfect condition. To make our plants even more irresistible, we provide full-colour labels and point-of-sale materials to help garden centre staff showcase our products in style.
