About Intelligro:
Established in 1976, Southern Horticultural Products Ltd was a pioneer in introducing Pinus radiata as a substrate for horticultural and ornamental plant production. This innovation led to strong partnerships with local sawmills and other bark producers as demand for this growing medium increased, ultimately establishing it as the most trusted product among our nursery and commercial growing clients.
While potting mix manufacturing remains at the core of our operations, a growing demand from landscapers and home gardeners for both growing and decorative materials prompted a gradual expansion of our product range. Today, our Pinus radiata-based growing media and bark products are distributed widely throughout the South Island.
In 2014, Southern Horticultural Products rebranded as Intelligro, marking a new chapter in our approach to delivering high-quality materials to the market. With the introduction of purpose-built equipment and the acquisition of a blower truck, we enhanced our ability to repurpose wood waste into certified products. These materials are now approved for use in kindergartens, schools, and council playgrounds, and are also suitable for applications in the biofuel sector.
Intelligro looks forward to welcoming CWCWC members to our yard in October.
