Kings Plant Barn - Papakura

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!!

Hi everyone and what a glorious day to be out and about in Takanini. Auckland NZ. We came for bird feeders and stayed for lunch. This is Kings. On a splendid day. Take a walk with us to the Café we will have brunch. I am having eggs bene. Hubby has the fish and chips. Now.

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

Very helpful,approachable went the extra mile to make sure I was satisfied. Would recommend everyone to buy their plants from Kings Plant Barn.

I went in today to buy my very first houseplant. The guy who helped me was very enthusiastic, helpful and knowledgeable about plants. He helped me make a great decision today of getting this beautiful philodendron for my room. There were a wide variety of plants to choose from, as well as beautiful pots to put them in. I'm so excited to see how my beautiful plant grows and develops in the next couple of weeks, and who knows, I might get another one!!! :
