Plant Hire

Offices · Hospitality · Healthcare · Retail

Not every commercial space needs a living wall or a full biophilic design scheme. Sometimes what a building needs is simply the right plants, in the right places, looked after properly.

We visit the site, assess the light, airflow, and traffic patterns, and recommend species that will thrive, not just survive. Every plant is grown in our Kumeu nursery and acclimatised before delivery, so it settles into your space quickly and holds its condition.

We hire and maintain plants across Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch, and have done for over twenty years, with more than 300 installations behind us. It all sits under one agreement: supply, styling, delivery and ongoing maintenance, with any underperforming plant replaced at no extra cost. You will find our work in offices like Deloitte, Gallagher and 188 Quay Street, and in care and hospitality spaces such as Arvida and Baduzzi.

Open-plan office with indoor planter boxes and lush greenery — GreenAir plant hire for workspaces

Offices

Greenery that works as hard as the people around it

Lobbies, reception areas, open-plan floors, boardrooms, and breakout spaces. We select species for the light and airflow conditions of each zone — not from a catalogue. Low-light tolerant species for interior floors, hardier varieties for entrance areas with more exposure, and feature plants scaled to the architecture. Flexible contracts that grow with your tenancy.

Advieh restaurant interior with lush indoor plants setting the dining atmosphere — GreenAir hospitality plant hire

Hospitality

Setting the atmosphere before anyone sits down

Hotels, restaurants, bars, and cafes. Plants set the tone for a guest experience the moment someone walks through the door. We work with the interior design to select species that reinforce the atmosphere — tropical, minimal, lush, restrained — and we maintain them to a standard that matches the service you're offering. Seasonal rotations keep the planting fresh without disrupting the space.

Arvida retirement village with calming indoor greenery in patient areas — GreenAir healthcare plant hire

Healthcare

Calm that you can measure

Waiting rooms, reception areas, corridors, and patient spaces. Research consistently shows that greenery in healthcare environments reduces patient stress and improves perceived wait times. We select species that meet hygiene requirements, tolerate the artificial lighting typical of clinical spaces, and need minimal intervention. No soil spillage, no allergen risks, no disruption to clinical workflows.

The Shelter showroom with curated indoor plants enhancing the retail experience — GreenAir retail plant hire

Retail & Showrooms

Making people want to stay longer

Entrance planting, in-store greenery, and window displays. Plants slow people down, soften hard retail environments, and create the kind of atmosphere that encourages people to browse rather than rush. We design planting that works with your visual merchandising — not against it — and maintain it so it always looks its best, including during high-traffic periods.

Over 90 percent of the plants we supply are propagated and grown in our Kumeu nursery. We don't buy stock from a supplier. We grow it to specification.

NURSERY GROWN

Every plant is propagated in our Kumeu nursery and acclimatised before delivery. It arrives ready to thrive in the conditions it was selected for — not a fresh import that declines from day two.

Flexible Contracts

Scale up, rotate seasonally, swap if conditions change. You're not locked into a fixed setup. Plant hire is designed around your building and your needs, not the other way around.

Maintenance Included

Regular visits by specialist horticultural technicians. Full health assessments, seasonal adjustments, pruning, and organic-first pest management. If a plant isn't performing, we replace it.

Plant Hire FAQs

How does plant hire work?

We start with a site visit to assess the light, airflow and traffic in each space, then supply species suited to those conditions. We deliver and position everything, and return regularly to keep it healthy. You pay a simple ongoing fee rather than buying and looking after the plants yourself.

Do you maintain the plants, or is that on us?

We do. Our horticultural technicians visit on a regular schedule to water, prune, clean and check for pests, and any plant that is not performing is replaced at no extra cost.

Which regions do you cover?

Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Wellington and Christchurch, with most of our stock grown at our own nursery in Kumeu, Auckland.

What kinds of spaces do you plant?

Offices, hospitality, healthcare and retail, from reception areas and open-plan floors to boardrooms, breakout spaces and dining rooms.
