In 1973, Dave and Gerda Vande Vrede opened a small garden center on their New Jersey farm. Year in and year out, they spent growing seasons cultivating all their own annual and perennial plants from seeds and cuttings.
The Vande Vredes' dedication to personally raising plants and selling directly to customers led to an unparalleled reputation as producers of the finest, most beautiful varieties of flowers and plants in New Jersey, and their reputation for service is no different.With attention to high quality and customer service, the business grew to 22 acres with 160,000 square feet of greenhouse space.

Not impressed. I had a gift card so I went here to buy some hanging baskets. They have a very slim selection very spread out compared to Van Wingerden down the road. The prices were also pretty steep and the girl at the counter had absolutely no customer service skills. No smile, no thank you. No nothing. I recommend going down the road to the other nursery. I recall them being very friendly and even offering a small tomato plant with a purchase.

The plants at this location are all nicely taken care of and seem to be of nice quality. Unfortunately, the lovely plants are overshadowed by the nasty, miserable, and terribly disorganized employees.
Prices are never clearly or accurately marked and employees are never sure about prices. They tried to overcharge me for several plants when I went to check them out and quoted prices that were almost triple what was on the sign and what several employees had told me.
I purchased several plants and the store offered to hold them for me until I could pick them up a week later. When I went to pick

While this is a very nice garden center, many of their products are priced 30-40 percent higher than other stores. When I found the same exact fertilizer for 10.00 cheaper, they refused to price match. I don’t mind paying a little more from a store with good customer service, but 10 bucks more for a bag of fertilizer is just too much.

We recently replanted the bushes in our front yard. One of the guys that worked there spent a lot of time with me helping me pick out the right bushes for my space. He was super helpful and very knowledgeable. I shopped around and every other place was about $100 - $150 for the same exact bushes. I was able to get the bushes delivered the next day along which was awesome. They have a huge selection of flowers and potted plants and are reasonably priced. I have been buying my flowers here for years and I am always happy with my purchase.

Stay away . No stars if I could . They sent me 3 yards of BAD topsoil . Spent hundreds on seed and starter fertilizer. . NO grass grew . NOT one blade . Beverley the manager took my complaint via speaker phone . She will insult your intelligence. Wouldn't refund my money . After 5 calls back and forth she offered a discount on BAGGED soil . I offered to send her pictures of my "grass less" lawn . Sooo unprofessional . They lost a long time customer who spent thousands of dollars there . I told her the latter and she could care less !!
