About New Zealand Plant FinderA love of interesting plants and gardening, whilst farming in the idyllic Gisborne hill country, led Meg Gaddum to begin collecting nursery catalogues and, in 1995, she started databasing the sources of plants in New Zealand, producing 4 plant finder books. In 1998, the plant finder database became web-based, the first such website in the world. From 2004-2007 the website was offline during which Meg completed a Masters in Landscape Architecture. Now she continues her project. Nurseries can join for free or sponsor the website for an enhanced listing.
