About Earth to Earth

Innovating Through Real Life Use

Earth to Earth develops practical, biodegradable products for planting projects across New Zealand. Our focus is on solutions that support healthy plant establishment while reducing reliance on plastic.

Innovation at Earth to Earth comes from the field. Our products are continually refined through real-world use, contractor feedback, and nursery testing — with small, practical improvements made over time rather than one-off design decisions.

How Earth to Earth Began


Earth to Earth began in 2017 as a Young Enterprise Scheme project, driven by a desire to reduce the environmental impact of planting and nursery practices in New Zealand. What started as a student-led idea quickly became a practical product designed to solve a real problem.

In 2018, Earth to Earth was acquired by Riverside Horticulture. Since then, the brand has continued to grow — grounded in real-world use, informed by client feedback, and focused on creating products that work in everyday planting conditions.

Earth to Earth is a brand of Riverside Horticulture, bringing together product innovation and generations of growing experience. This connection ensures our products are developed with a deep understanding of plant production, handling, and establishment.

“ Our goal is simple: to create planting solutions that work today while leaving future generations with less to clean up.”
