Palmers Garden Centre or Palmers is a chain of New Zealand garden centres. It has 12 stores, including three in Auckland, selling a range of plants and gardening equipment.[1]
The head office of Palmers is in Rosedale, Auckland.[1]
History
[edit]Starting from humble beginnings Palmers was originally a family business. The original site, in Glen Eden, Auckland, was bought by A W Palmer for a plant nursery in 1912. The new business prospered and grew with New Zealand's first modern style garden centre being built on the Glen Eden site in 1958.[1]
There were 20 Palmers stores in 2000, including eight in Auckland.[2]
