About Us

West Melton Plant Nursery began its journey as a commercial cut flower wholesaler. However, in 1990, when the Gulf War erupted, Gavin was compelled to reconsider the direction of the business. The conflict restricted air travel over the area, causing cut flowers to wither before reaching their destinations.

Driven by his passion for growing plants, Gavin shifted the focus of the business. What started as a hobby gradually transformed into a thriving nursery and over the years the nursery has steadily expanded.

Today, West Melton Plant Nursery remains under Gavin’s ownership. With the help of a small but dedicated team, the nursery continues to produce high-quality plants, proudly serving the West Melton community and beyond with a friendly local service.

Gavin and the team have amassed valuable knowledge about which plants thrive in the unique Canterbury climate. As such, they can provide you with professional tips and advice to help you plan, select, and plant your gardens and landscaping.
