Plant Library

Welcome to our plant library. This extensive list should help you learn more about Canterbury eco-sourced plants. The information on each species is updated regularly and should be used as an informational resource. Not all plants in the library are currently available, but you can place an indent for species found here any time. Here is our 2025/2026 indent list. Click here for this month’s availability list.

Our team is happy to help you with any enquiries you may have about plants and their suitability for your project. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

Please note that minimum purchase is required for current orders and indents. A 20% deposit is required for orders over $5,000.
