Tontex Gardens provides exquisite flowers for weddings, festive decorations, professional garden designs, and regular plant care. During the Christmas season, the garden bursts into even richer colour and fragrance, a living celebration of the joy and warmth that define Christmas in Rivers.

The Tontex story began in the early 1980s when its founder, an industrial biologist with a lifelong love of nature, received a beautiful bouquet as a farewell gift while leaving London. Returning to Nigeria, she found few options for fresh, quality flowers and decided to grow her own.

What began as a personal passion soon blossomed into a business when a grateful friend insisted on paying for one of her gifted plants. That moment marked the birth of Tontex Gardens, a name that has since become synonymous with beauty, sustainability, and joy in Port Harcourt.

This holiday season, visitors are invited to experience this floral wonder for themselves. At Tontex Gardens, the timeless beauty of nature meets the joyful heart of Christmas, a perfect stop on your Christmas in Rivers journey.
