We believe in the power of imagination.

We are inspired by the challenge of creating better places and spaces.

Whether it's homes, offices, low rise or high rise,

we want to improve things, fix things, create things and show people how.

Every day we help people imagine and create their own better place.

We're the dreamers, the innovators, the entrepreneurs, the makers and the educators.

We love a problem and love to imagine and create a solution.

When we unleash our imagination, we help others make their world a better place.

We believe in the power to 'Imagine a Better Place'.

From its very beginnings, Yates has prided itself on supplying quality products, which is a company policy that is of paramount importance. Although traditionally best known for its packet seed range, Yates now manufactures and distributes an extensive range of garden products. These include fertilisers, plant protection products, garden accessories, lawn seeds and potting mixes.

Some of Australasia's most respected horticultural brand names come out of the Yates stable: Yates, Hortico, Watkins, Zero, Aquasol, Thrive, Blitzem and Dynamic Lifter. Yates trans-Tasman connection allows the company to benefit from economies of scale and a larger market. A long-established relationship with Bayer sees Yates marketing many of Bayer's home garden products, an arrangement that allows Yates to bring some of the best new international chemical developments to Australian and New Zealand home gardeners.

Yates proudly supports our community and each year donates a significant amount of time and products to worthy causes. In Australia, we run a wonderful Garden Grants program for Schools and Education Centres with our partner Life Education Australia. While in New Zealand, we support Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust, The Butterfly Musketeers Christchurch, Kids Go Gardening, School Gardens by Healthy Heroes Charitable Trust, and Trees for Survival.

Yates is one of those long-established Australasian companies that has become a household name. This acceptance has been encouraged by the widespread popularity of Yates Garden Guide, which was first written by Arthur Yates in 1895. After more than a century of publication Yates Garden Guide has become recognised as the best-selling gardening book in both countries.

Yates is proud to be a signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant to help reduce the environmental impacts of consumer packaging. Enclosed below are documents pertaining to this agreement.
