Trailside Gardens / Ice Cream

Retail Garden Center Nursery. Top products: hand-selected ornamental plants, seasonal produce, yard and home decor. Trailside Gardens, established in 2015 by the Higgins family in Waretown, New Jersey, operates as a seasonal retail garden center and plant supplier. Strategically located near Route 9 and the Garden State Parkway, the business focuses on providing a curated selection of locally sourced plants designed for residential landscaping needs. Their horticultural offerings follow a seasonal cycle, providing specialized plant stock for spring, summer, fall, and winter markets. Beyond their core nursery operations, the center functions as a community-oriented destination, offering New Jersey-grown produce and seasonal home and garden decor. While the business has diversified its onsite offerings to include a soft-serve ice cream window, its primary commercial operations remain rooted in horticultural retail, catering to local homeowners seeking high-quality plant material and gardening supplies throughout their operational calendar from Easter through Christmas Eve.
