Classic Plants 1998 Limited is a Plant Wholesale Nursery, specialising in the propagation and growing on of Perennials, Lavenders, Grasses, Succulents and Fuchsias.
BACKGROUND:
Classic Plants has been around since the 1980s starting with indoor plants with the addition of annuals in 1988. The indoor plants stopped altogether in 1993 and perennials were added to the range in 1994.
In March 1995 Louis Meerlo was appointed as Manager. With his background in the perennial area they increased the perennial range substantially and also added lavenders and fuchsias to the plant range. By 1997 Classic Plants had established an excellent name with their customers and became a preferred supplier for a great number of Garden Centres in the Auckland area.
In 1998 Louis and Cherie Meerlo bought the company and shifted it to Glenbrook. To keep up with the trend of the market they also added succulents and grasses to the range. So the range at the moment consists of perennials, lavenders, fuchsias, succulents and grasses.
In 2004 Louis and Cherie Meerlo relocated the company to Waiuku. The range remains the same, but the new premises is twice as big, as we are growing and expanding all the time.
