MORE ABOUT NZPPI

New Zealand Plant Producers Incorporated (NZPPI) is the industry body for plant nurseries and related businesses.

Our members are the nursery businesses that propagate and grow seedlings and rootstock for revegetation and ecology, food and wine, homes and gardens, and public amenity plantings.

NZPPI supports these businesses by advocating for industry-friendly policies, promoting biosecurity initiatives, providing technical advice, and fostering growth through networking opportunities, workshops, and leadership development programmes.

PENNZ: a new peer-to-peer learning network for native plant producers

NZPPI is extremely proud to announce the launch of the Producer Extension Network New Zealand (PENNZ) - a new programme to help native plant nurseries scale up, improve productivity and efficiency, and adopt innovative practices. Delivered in partnership with Te Uru Rākau – New Zealand Forest Service, PENNZ will connect native plant producers with specialists, advisers and one another to help drive business growth and production capability across the sector.

STRATEGIC GOALS

Our People

We focus on developing the skills and leadership of our members through initiatives like the Young Plant Producer competition, the Fraser Award and Plant Careers. We work with our members, industry partners, tertiary providers and the Government to reignite the training programmes and qualifications that have been so important to our sector.

Sustainability

Environmental sustainability is central to our mission. We have a Sustainable Water Code of Practice, work with EECA on encouraging sector decarbonisation, have a Plastics Advisory Committee to help reduce plastics waste. and work with Te Ūru Rakau NZ Forest Service on afforestation programmes.

Member Services

We provide valuable services to our members, including the Go Gardening magazine, which increases consumer demand for plants, and the Plant Trolleys hire scheme, which enhances the efficiency of plant transportation. Our events, such as conference, nursery field trips and workshops offer opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and industry collaboration.

Advocacy

We advocate for policies that benefit our members and the wider plant production sector. We have successfully influenced decisions regarding plant imports, native afforestation strategies, and the National Pest Plant Accord. Our ongoing engagement with government and industry bodies ensures that our members' interests are well represented.
