When supply meets demand…

Come visit our new flagship indoor plant shop at City Works Depot – Auckland City. Specialising in indoor greenery, succulents and cactus, bonsai, and orchids.

The shop resides in the dramatic architectural setting of “the hoppers,” with an extended terrarium-like structure that glows with light.

We’re a great gift shop, with heaps of other goodies too.
