Gardening

Shopping


Over the years I found some great family owned garden centers and nurseries, as well as unique internet stores offering a vast variety of plants and tools. Check out the list below for horticultural products and services.

 




Garden & Nursery Centers


Before being lured into big box stores by pricing, consider the quality of the plants and knowledge of the staff. Here are some family owns businesses I shop at and would recommend.

Annual Plant Sales & Shows

 

I found this one of the best ways to buy plants and support your local non-profit organizations. The plants are usually grown by volunteers or purchased from local growers.

  • New Jersey Botanical Garden
  • Philadelphia Flower Show
  • New Jersey Flower & Garden Show
  • Springfest Flower & Garden Show
  • Rutgers Spring Flower Fair  
  • Glen Rock Arboretum
  • Garden Club of Teaneck
  • Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve
  • Wyckoff Area Garden Club

Internet & Catalogs


Looking for unique plants and seeds, check out these catalog and internet based companies. Some have been around since the 1700’s and have an incredible collection of specialty products.

Tools and Accessories


From high quality pruners to electric pole saws, these companies offer specialty tools as well as garden ornaments and supplies.
