About this Event
Our 2021 event was a huge success! Over 2,300 of you joined us at The Historic Village in Tauranga to shop from over 27 incredible hand-picked planty retailers. We had over 7,000 plants there on the day ranging from $5 all the way up to $3,000, and you loved them all! Our potters were pumping out pots for months, our macrame makers were knotting away in the evenings and we had a whole selection of incredible planty accessories on offer! But I’ll be the first to put my hands up and say things need to change before our 2022 event.
We needed more space - so we’ve upsized the venue! We needed more carparks - so we’ve got 3,000 on site! We needed more food and coffee - so we’ll be working with more food vendors! You felt like you couldn't find all the vendors - so we've simplified the layout! We needed to be faster on the doors - don't worry, we’re working with a security company to make that a fast and efficient operation! You wanted the venue to be more accessible - we've got that one nailed! You wanted more access to cash out - our team is on to it! We can, and we will deliver for 2022!
Your favourite vendors + some new and exciting additions will be coming together in 2022 to bring you the BIGGEST and BEST indoor plant event in NZ!
The beauty of Plant Fest is that we learn and grow as New Zealand’s love of plants grows - we're ready for you this year! See you in 2022 crazy plant people!
Hollie.

Think of Plant Fest more like Adele at Mt Smart Stadium rather than a relaxed Sunday Market.
As a general rule of thumb the morning of Plant Fest, and similar plant related events around the country, is VERY busy. Those that are looking for a specific plant or want the full planty experience get to the venue VERY early and the line of plant enthusiasts starts at least an hour before the event. If you're not looking for a specific plant and want a really relaxed experience I recommend coming after 1.30pm. Things are starting to die down then and you can enjoy the event without the lines and crowds.
Whatever time you choose to visit, you'll love it!
please note under current government guidelines, vaccine passes are required for everyone attending over the age of 12.
