About us
Wicking Beds NZ was founded to make gardening easy, sustainable, and rewarding. We believe in water-efficient, low-maintenance solutions and in supporting communities to create greener, healthier spaces.
Our Story
Wicking Beds NZ is all about making it easy for people to grow thriving plants, whether in homes, schools, community gardens, or commercial spaces. Our focus is on helping New Zealanders bring greenery into their spaces with minimal effort.
We work with WaterUps Australia, who have developed world-leading self-watering technology. Their system uses the age-old concept of “wicking” to draw water from below, saving up to 80% of water while keeping soil evenly moist and plants healthy.
Our mission is to support flourishing gardens everywhere, with innovation and care at the heart of everything we do.
