Peterson's Nursery

Established in 1939, Peterson's Nursery has evolved from a roadside produce stand into a full-service garden center and landscaping company. Our journey began with a six-year-old selling blackberries at our family home, growing into a second-generation family business spanning nearly eight acres bordering Princeton and Lawrenceville, NJ. We remain committed to organic gardening practices, eliminating chemical pesticides in the 1980s through innovative use of beneficial insects and liquid seaweed fertilizers. Our dedication to sustainability extends to sourcing inventory locally, reducing freight distances and carbon emissions. Our greenhouses feature energy-efficient shade cloths and temperature-controlled vents, minimizing reliance on mechanical cooling systems.

With decades of expertise, we provide expert guidance on plant selection, emphasizing organic solutions over synthetic alternatives. Our staff offers comprehensive services including delivery, installation, and custom container planting, ensuring every project starts with premium soil and natural mulch. We specialize in seasonal offerings from spring annuals to holiday decorations, alongside landscape and hardscape design services. Our nursery stocks locally grown trees, shrubs, and perennials tailored to New Jersey's climate. We pride ourselves on creating a park-like environment where customers experience fresh air, thriving wildlife, and a genuine connection to nature.
