Nestled in the Canterbury foothills along the banks of the Waimakariri River, Black Fantail Nursery is a small, family‑owned business dedicated to growing Aotearoa’s native plants with care and integrity.
Every plant we offer begins its life as seed collected from our own property, ensuring strong local provenance and a genuine connection to the land we call home. We take pride in nurturing each seedling by hand, combining sustainable growing practices with a deep respect for the natural environment.
Whether you’re restoring a patch of native bush, enhancing your garden with hardy local species, or supporting biodiversity on your property, our plants are grown to thrive in our unique Canterbury conditions.
At Black Fantail Nursery, we’re not just growing plants—we’re growing a legacy of kaitiakitanga, one seed at a time.
