Welcome to our nursery!

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 expertise.

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 plant to robust maturity in our nursery beds, preparing them for success in your garden or restoration project.

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 environment.

At Black Fantail Nursery, we're not just growing plants—we're growing a legacy of kaitiakitanga, one seed at a time.
