New York City Garden Center and Plant Nursery Map



This map of nurseries is not an endorsement of any particular business, but a resource for anyone looking for a nursery in the NYC area. Undoubtedly, I missed a few that are out there. Use the comment option if you have a favorite I missed. I chose to not include any florists or hardware stores that also sell bedding plants. There are many more of those in NYC.

I included some nurseries that are in NJ, Yonkers, and Long Island despite their outlying status. Those are marked with the empty marker.

Some regions are woefully without local nurseries, although many of these areas are probably served by hardware stores, florists, and some big box stores. Specifically Queens, which has more planting space than any borough, but also is in closer proximity to all the suburban nurseries.

  1. Help! Can anyone help me? My son was growing a sunflower from a seed at school. He brought it home and I just snapped the head off (yes, awful mother) whilst readjusting the tie that kept it held upright. Where in NYC could I find a sunflower seedling, already growing, about 10 inches tall? Thanks to anyone who can direct me ... (P.S. I know this could be a life lesson, but I don't think he needs it just now, and nor do I!!)

  2. Unfortunately, growing sunflowers wouln't ordinarily be on nursery shelves for some time, maybe late May. Maybe the sunflower will keep growing, but I suspect its one of those single stem monsters and probably won't.

    I would check Liberty Sunset or Chelsea Garden Center, call them to find out when or maybe they can do you a favor and get one in. Or start another from seed, they grow pretty fast.

    Good luck!

  6. Adriana,

    Any nursery that carries shrubs should carry Lilac, especially now, right before they flower.

    I'd call Chelsea Garden Center first. They have a location in midtown Manhattan. You can find them on the map.

If I do not respond to your comment right away, it is only because I am busy pulling out buckthorn, creeping charlie, and garlic mustard...
