Rooted here since 1978
Great Swamp Greenhouses has been part of New Jersey’s gardening community for more than four decades. What began in Gillette has grown into two locations and a team that genuinely enjoys what they do.
We grow more than 90% of our annuals and perennials, not because we have to, but because it allows us to pay attention to the details. From irrigation to pruning to how a plant looks the day it goes home with you, those things matter.
When you visit, you’ll see the difference. It’s hard to explain, but easy to notice.
