For over 55 years, Go-To Gardening has been helping Aucklanders get the job done properly. Formerly known as Gardening Aids, this family-owned business has built its reputation the old-school way, through genuine service, hands-on knowledge, and looking after customers long after the sale.

At Go-To Gardening, it’s never just about selling a product in a box. It’s about understanding the customer, explaining the “why,” and making sure people know how to safely and properly use the equipment they buy. Their experienced team takes the time to educate, demonstrate, and train customers so they can get the very best out of their machinery.

From servicing equipment for major brands and organisations like Mitre 10, to helping everyday homeowners maintain their gardens, Go-To Gardening has become a trusted name in the industry because they truly “do the doing.”

Their workshop offers onsite servicing, repairs, refurbished products, spare parts, and expert maintenance for a wide range of gardening equipment. Every product sold in-store is backed by real servicing knowledge from people who genuinely know the machines inside and out. They can even pre-fill and prepare equipment before customers take it home, ensuring everything is ready to go from day one.

What sets Go-To Gardening apart is their commitment to authentic, in-person support. Customers aren’t treated like numbers, they are guided by real people with decades of hands-on experience and practical industry knowledge. It’s this level of care and expertise that keeps customers coming back and referring others year after year.

“You can’t get more real and authentic than buying quality products backed by people who genuinely know what they’re doing and how to use them. We don’t just sell it — we do the doing, If it’s broken, they fix it. Simple.”

Nathan Rewi | Owner/Operator

In 2014 Emma said enough. Fed up with single-use paper towels, tissues and bags clogging up landfills she got to work finding solutions for her family life.  The business started by selling reusable produce bags at the local Saturday market. They repeatedly sold out, so she grew the range to include other sustainable products she wanted but couldn’t find. Sustainable living shouldn’t look boring. Emma fixed that with compostable, plant based, hard-working and seriously good-looking products.

Every Dishcloth, Handkerchiefs, Towels, Bags & Greeting Cards in the range is something Emma’s family uses everyday, chosen because they work, hard enough for real family life, lovely enough to give as gifts. These are the reusable heroes you have been looking for and they help make the switch to sustainable living super easy.

 

“The rules were simple: we had to want to use the products ourselves, and they had to handle our months of testing and trials.”

Emma – Owner 

Reduce, reuse, recycle has always been The Green Collectives mantra but they’ve add re-purpose, re-fresh and re-create to the list. The Green Collective is always looking at everyday habits and asking: could this be better? That curiosity has led to some unexpected places. They have become a bit of a matchmaker for waste, connecting materials that would otherwise be thrown out with organisations who can give them a new life. Recent examples: retired kite surfing kites repurposed into post-surgical drainage bag covers for Cancer Society volunteers. And their limited banner bags made from expired advertising and event banners with expired child car seat straps.

We all love our pets. And you know what they love? The taste of real, wild meat. Truth is, they were once wild themselves, so it’s no wonder they still hanker for a taste of the hunt. The Naked Possum makes pet treats the way they should be – with pure wild possum, and nothing else.

With meat this good, there’s no need to dress it up in dodgy additives. A near-perfect protein, possum is hypoallergenic, high in omega 3 and 6, and packed with essential nutrients. Used as a training treat or a sneaky snack, they’ll drive even the pickiest pets wild.

“Ethically caught and carefully crafted, every piece is made to ignite the senses with drool-worthy smell, texture and taste.”

James Laurie – Owner

The Naked Possum is passionate about keeping our country pest free. Possums impact our natural habitats and put our native species under threat. Controlled and ethical possum hunting helps keep nature’s balance in check, without the need for pesticides. All treats are made in Whangārei through a small, hands on process not large mass production machines to ensure every product meets the high standard The Naked Possum stands for.
