HISTORY Van Lier Nurseries is a family owned business that has been producing and selling quality flowers and plants to the New Zealand and International wholesale markets for over fifty years. While our range of cut flowers is extensive, our trademark flower is the rose. We currently have 1.5 hectares of glasshouse planted with over 30 varieties of roses, ensuring a consistently large supply of an array of quality roses. We are proud to have it place us as the largest rose grower in the North Island of New Zealand and the second largest in the country. Initially carnations were the first cut flower product grown. 1974 saw the introduction of roses which became the major focus of our business in the early 80’s. Subsequently we have added Alstroemeria, Florinca, Green Magma, Gypsophila, Helleborus, Limonium, Parzival, Solidago, Statice and Zanzibar Foliage to our range. A further diversification was made when Van Lier Nurseries expanded into propagation, we now produce a variety of indoor house plants. Van Lier Nurseries is located in Riverhead, Auckland with a Faber glasshouse of approximately 1 hectare. With a recent change from gas to electric heating and a computer controlled environment, Van Lier Nurseries’ is committed to the utilisation of modern technology to guarantee reliable production.
