  • I absolutely love my Nutopia Greenhouse. Its a gardening dream that Nick & Bex brought to life. Highly recommend

    Sam & Gemma

  • We are extremely pleased with our greenhouse. Nutopia has done an amazing job with fantastic craftsmanship with tight fittings and a great look. It is a lot warmer in the structure, and looks looks great on our property. Nutopia worked with us to give us exactly what we wanted, and to hold up to our ultra high wind zone here in the Wairarapa.
