How to Order
Pickup At Our Nursery
Our Live Plants may also be picked up at our nursery in New Jersey! Location and Hours.
There are 2 ways to buy at our physical location:
1) Just walk in! You will choose your own plants from our 2 Retail greenhouses. 'Pull your Own' plants.
2) Place a 'Reserved Order for Pickup' order which we will have pulled and ready for you to pick up.
Click "I prefer to pickup my order at the nursery" which is on the top of the Shopping Cart.
2021 Reserved Order Pickups: wk 4/12/21 thru wk 5/24/21.
Please note: Availability shown on the site is for Internet Orders only.
This does not apply to our Retail greenhouses, where inventory quantities and varieties fluctuate frequently.
To ensure the items you're interested in are available, we recommend that you place a Reserved Order for Pickup.
Why can't I buy the same varieites of peppers, tomatoes, and eggplants in person?
Our nursery is setup as both a retail operation and what can be considered a warehouse for the mail order business. Items in the warehouse are arranged to be efficient for picking and shipping,
while the retail greenhouses are arranged for a better customer experience. Think of the difference between going to a brick and mortar store vs shopping in their warehouse.
Part of the fun (we think) of coming in person is the variability of what's available and seeing the plants in person!
RESERVED ORDERS FOR PICKUP: Please pick up within one week of your requested pickup date.
We need room for next weeks' orders, so we need to move your order OUT.
No need to call ahead or advise, but please bring your order# with you.
Pickup orders will be ready starting Monday of the requested delivery week, and will not be ready earlier.
Do not come earlier than your requested pickup week (or ask to come), as your order will NOT be ready, and you will need to come back. NO EXCEPTIONS as pickup orders get completed on Monday mornings.
