The best garden center around!! It really is my happy place :) if you go during the week, the staff are absolutely exceptional and knowledgeable with all the time in the world to talk you through any requirements or trouble shooting. When I forayed into houseplants for the first time a few months ago, the lovely young lad helped me out and thoroughly explained the difference between what I’m used to (vegetable growing) and recommended some easy plant options to start with. Months later my ZZ and Snake plants are absolutely thriving!! I have used their home delivery service for large amounts of compost etc (exceptional service), purchased gifts, purchased seedlings, shrubs, bulbs, and always seem to get the best advice should I require it. For the first year I have even had success with dahlias due to helpful advice which I am thrilled with. I generally give the cafe a miss since it’s changed hands, but my niece thinks the fluffies and chips and range of activities to keep the Littlies entertained is great. Gets a bit busy on the weekend with some of the less knowledgeable staff on, but they will always find someone who can help you if you are willing to be patient and wait your turn politely :) ka pai Kings Takanini team, keep it up!!

Great selection of plants to choose from in any size with reasonable prices. We bought an Apple Tree, Doris Plum and Peach Tree. Cafe setup/atmosphere is cosy and spacious, which included a beautiful book shelf display🤩 Also has a kids play corner which is a bonus but just needs some cleaning. Ice mocha and ham and cheese toastie was 110% !
