COLONIAL NURSERY

At Colonial Nursery, we’re more than just a garden center — we’re growers. As a family owned and operated nursery located in Monmouth County, NJ, we take pride in growing our own annuals right here on-site. Unlike big box stores and many other retailers, we don’t just buy plants to resell — we nurture them ourselves to ensure the highest quality and value for our customers.
We also offer full-service landscape design and installation, bringing over 30 years of local experience to every project. Whether you’re starting fresh or enhancing your current space, we’ll help you create a garden you’ll love and others will admire.
Explore our extensive perennial section with hundreds of hardy, beautiful plants, or browse our tree and shrub yard with a wide selection of varieties for every landscape need. Looking for native plants? We have one of the best selections around — including rare and hard-to-find species that are both beautiful and beneficial to the environment.
When you shop with us, you’re supporting a local grower and saving money without compromising on quality. Come see the difference growing makes.
