Meet the Team
Hi, we’re Harry & Maria! We’ve always had a deep rooted interest for all things plants. In 2023, we decided to take our hobby to the next level, leaving our office jobs & starting our nursery – Pots of Joy! Our hands might be a little dirtier, and our days a little more chaotic (hello kids!) but it’s all homegrown happiness!
We’re always happy to share our knowledge and help you find the perfect plant for your home & garden. We believe in building lasting relationships with our customers, supporting the local community, and we’re committed to providing exceptional service and great quality plants.
Ready to add a pot of joy (or 10!) to your home?
Here's why you'll love our seedlings
Quality First
We're obsessed with quality at every stage, from seed to seedling. At Pots of Joy, we select only field-tested varieties, ensure proper sun-hardening, and deliver plants ready to thrive in your garden, whether it's at home or school.
Passionate Expertise
We've turned our plant passion into our livelihood. As Harry & Maria, we left our office jobs in 2023 to share our deep-rooted interest in all things plants, bringing our horticultural knowledge directly to your gardens with genuine enthusiasm.
Seasonal Success
Every day is a new opportunity in the garden. We've built our planting schedules to align perfectly with New Zealand's seasons, setting both home gardeners and schools up for successful harvests year-round.
Community Focused
We do everything with our customers in mind, from supporting Oke Charity's school gardens to helping families find the perfect plants for their homes. Every plant creates an opportunity to build lasting relationships within our community.
Embrace Sustainability
Thinking about the environment goes beyond just growing plants. We put action behind our values with eco-friendly packaging and sustainable growing practices that reflect our commitment to nurturing both plants and planet.
Homegrown Happiness
Gardening should bring joy, not stress. We take the complex science of growing and distill it into accessible advice and quality plants that help everyone succeed. Our hands might be a little dirtier these days, but we wouldn't have it any other way!
