Well, I hope everybody has had a good start to the year! I can’t believe we’re already into February. It feels like summer has just started here—we had one of the coldest Januaries in years, with lots of rain and cool southerlies. We even had the fire going — that’s how unpredictable the weather was! Fortunately for us, there were no tornadoes like the one that hit Mangawhai a couple of weeks ago. What a mess that caused!
Here at Nutopia Greenhouses, things are going well—business is ticking over nicely, we’re working on some exciting new products in the background, and we’re looking forward to another eventful year.
When we started Nutopia Greenhouses back in August 2022, we set a goal to sell 100 greenhouses in the first two years. It was a pretty ambitious goal, but we thought it was good to have something to work towards. Fast forward to now—we have sold 97 greenhouses and expanded our range to include The Sanctuary, shadehouses, and hybrid greenhouse/shadehouses (The Sheenhouse).
It’s been an interesting journey, full of ups, downs, roadblocks, and victories. The business has evolved a lot in a short amount of time, and we’re excited to see where it takes us in 2025.
Exciting News: The Sanctuary is Now Available as a Kitset
Up until now, The Sanctuary has only been available for installation by us, but we’re thrilled to announce that it will be available as a kitset from the end of March! It has taken time to refine the installation process so it can be assembled without frustration—because let’s be honest, no one wants to pull their hair out building their dream greenhouse.
We’ve also made the decision to limit The Sanctuary sales to 10 this year. We’re not interested in mass-producing them—we want to take our time, ensuring each one is built to perfection. When it’s loaded onto a Mainfreight truck, we want to know that every box has been ticked and that we’re delivering a greenhouse that exceeds expectations.
Without sounding too corny—it’s all about quality over quantity for us. Being a two-person team, it’s important that we can take our time when prepping and staining each Sanctuary greenhouse. Trust us, there’s a lot that goes into them!
New Product Alert: Kitset Raised Garden Beds
In addition to The Sanctuary, we’ll also be selling kitset raised garden beds this year. Raised beds are a game changerfor gardeners, offering better drainage, improved soil conditions, and easier maintenance. Stay tuned for more details on these!
We’re Building Our Own Sanctuary!
This year, we’re finally building our own Sanctuary! It has been a long time coming—we’ve outgrown our current greenhouse and have already started preparing the site for our new one. You’ll be able to follow along as we document the entire build process over the coming months.
We’re still debating what color to stain it—any suggestions? Let us know what you think!
Hope everyone has a fantastic week, and happy birthday to my little sister Toni! ❤️
