🌿 About CJS Plant Farm

CJ's Plant Farm is the retail division of Elliott’s Wholesale Nursery, a trusted Canterbury nursery that has been growing quality plants for local gardens since 1987.

Based in Amberley, just north of Christchurch, we proudly serve homeowners, landscapers, and garden enthusiasts throughout North Canterbury and the wider South Island.

What began as a small family-run nursery has grown over more than 35 years into one of Canterbury’s largest and most respected plant producers. Today, CJS Plants gives home gardeners access to the same high-quality plants and expert knowledge that professionals rely on from Elliott’s Wholesale Nursery.

🌱 A Nursery Built on Local Knowledge

At our core, we are growers.

Because our plants are grown right here in Canterbury, they’re suited to the local climate, soil conditions, and seasonal challenges. We understand what thrives in coastal winds, what handles frost, and what performs well in new subdivisions.

Our nursery in Amberley stocks one of the largest selections of plants in the region, including:

• Hardy NZ native plants suited to Canterbury & New Zealand gardens
• Shelter and hedging varieties such as pittosporums and flaxes
• Colourful rhododendrons, camellias, and flowering shrubs
• Decorative and structural trees including Japanese Maples
• Large-grade plants for instant impact
• Smaller landscaping plants ideal for new builds and garden development

Whether you’re searching for native plants near Christchurch or planning a full garden layout, we have options to suit both large-scale landscaping and home projects.

🌿 Quality, Variety and Competitive Pricing

Because CJS Plants is backed by Elliott’s Wholesale Nursery, we can offer:

• A wider variety than many traditional garden centres
• Plants grown onsite and selected for performance
• Competitive pricing without compromising quality
• Access to both retail quantities and larger landscaping orders

We focus on plants — not giftware or café experiences — just healthy, well-grown stock and knowledgeable service.
