History

While Moores Valley Nurseries was established in the late 1960's, it wasn't until it was sold to the Fletchers in 1995 that its reputation increased and it was turned into Wellington's leading plant nursery, well known for reasonably priced, high quality and hardy plants.

In recent years it has twice won the Wellington's Best Garden Centre/Nursery competition, as voted by listeners of the Breeze radio station. 

Plants

The Wainuiomata nursery covers approximately two acres and has tens of thousands of plants on site at any one time. 

The Wainuiomata nursery sells a large range of native and exotic trees, shrubs and perennials (most of which are grown at the nursery) at 'grower direct' prices. We are open to the general public from 9.00am to 4.30pm, 7 days per week. There is ample car parking available at the nursery.

Staff

Our staff members are very knowledgeable and are happy to help you with your queries. Several staff members have completed horticultural apprenticeships and have gained National Certificates in Horticulture, and we also have staff currently in the middle of training. New staff are encouraged and supported in studying towards this Certificate. In addition our General Manager also won the 'Horticultural Young Achiever of the Year' award making him, at the time, the youngest recipient of the award.
