Growing a Greener Future

At Tiaki Life, we believe in nurturing both plants and the planet. Based in Christchurch, New Zealand, we are a family-run business dedicated to providing sustainable alternatives to plastic and plaster planters. Our biodegradable pots, made from natural rice hull, are designed for gardeners, landscapers, and plant lovers who care about the future of Aotearoa.

Before starting Tiaki Life, I witnessed the growing problem of plastic waste—planters piling up in landfills, polluting our oceans, and harming our fragile ecosystems. These plastic pots take centuries to break down, releasing toxins into the soil and waterways, threatening the land we love and the wildlife that depends on it.

But change begins with small choices. By choosing Tiaki Life planters, crafted from renewable rice hull, you're not just growing plants—you’re cultivating a future of cleaner rivers, healthier soil, and a greener New Zealand.

The word Tiaki comes from te reo Māori and means to care, conserve, and protect—values we uphold in every planter we create. As a family business, we are committed to reducing waste, fostering sustainability, and helping you grow responsibly.

Join us in replacing plastic, one planter at a time. Let’s grow a greener Aotearoa—for our children, for our land, for generations to come.
