Kings Plant Barn are thrilled to have been awarded the Reader's Digest Quality Service Gold Award five years in a row in the Garden Centre category.

The award is 100% voted by Kiwis, and to be awarded Gold five years in row is a testament to our dedicated people and customers who make this possible.

At Kings, we pride ourselves on always putting the customer first. Our team are passionate gardeners themselves, who love sharing their expert advice to help our customers have the best chance of growing success.

To say we are proud is an understatement, and we could not have achieved this without all of our loyal customers and staff.

The annual Reader’s Digest Quality Service awards are based on five key pillars of customer service: Personalisation, Understanding, Simplicity, Satisfaction and Consistency. Market research agency, Catalyst, surveyed 1,570 New Zealanders who were asked to nominate a service provider in up to 32 categories, one of which was garden centres. To qualify to vote in a category, the respondent must have visited our store during the year. Reader’s Digest says it is confident that the Quality Service survey results for 2025 are a truly accurate measurement of New Zealand consumer sentiment.
