Welcome to HEDGE
HEDGE is a boutique plant nursery & award winning garden design business based in Wellington, New Zealand.
We grow plants that give structure and style to a garden - from instant hedge to standards and topiary.
We also specialise in designing with plants using beautiful plant combinations. We will select suitable plants for your location and set them in a semi-formal garden design.
Please contact us if you are interested in our garden design service or plants.
Ellerslie International Flower Show Garden
Rachael Matthews won a gold medal at the Ellerslie Flower Show this year, and Emerging Designer of the Year. Click here to view a slideshow of the garden, and here for video & photos on Facebook, and here for media stories & video for non Facebook users.
Facebook
We are trialing Facebook as a fast and interactive way to let you know about things of the moment. In particular I will include brief posts, links, and photos of beautiful plant combinations and garden design ideas that I come across when I’m out & about.
For example, I have posted pictures of visits to some of my favourite gardens Richmond, Ohinetahi, Trotts, Winterhome and Broadfield NZ Landscape Garden.
Anyone can have a look at HEDGE on Facebook by clicking on this link – but you will need to join Facebook to post a comment and receive automatic updates to your news page.
Upcoming Events, Workshops, Open Days & Garden Walks
We sell direct to the public via this internet site, open days, garden walks, and workshops. You can also make a time to come and visit our nursery.
