History
Starting from humble beginnings Palmers was originally a family business. The original site, now Palmers Glen Eden, was bought by Mr 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. This success was followed by rapid expansion.[1] Palmers now have 16 stores throughout the North Island, New Zealand including three of the larger format stores - Palmers Planet, which include spa pools, BBQs, giftware and more.
