About the Nursery

Full-service Organic Garden Center. Top products: Ornamental plants, Shrubs, Perennials, Local produce, Organic gardening supplies. Established in 1939 in Princeton, New Jersey, Peterson's Nursery is a second-generation, family-owned horticultural business operating on an eight-acre site. Evolving from a roadside produce stand, the company now serves as a full-service garden center and landscaping firm. A pioneer in organic horticultural practices, the nursery transitioned away from chemical pesticide spraying in the 1980s, adopting integrated pest management strategies such as the use of beneficial insects like ladybugs, and implementing organic fertilizers like liquid seaweed. The facility features active greenhouses and provides a park-like shopping environment for local customers. Beyond their extensive plant inventory, which emphasizes sustainable sourcing from local suppliers to reduce carbon emissions, the business offers professional landscape and hardscape services. Committed to environmental stewardship, the nursery utilizes energy-efficient greenhouse designs and prioritizes organic products for consumer gardening needs.

The shelves were empty. The tomatoes were yellow and willed as were most of the herbs. Wanted some dill but they didn't have any. Nobody asked if they could help. Went to Bountiful Gardens.

Wonderful selection of great looking Fraser firs this year. My 7 ft tree is beautiful and was reasonably priced.

Peterson's plants are always health and take well when I plant them. His prices are extremely reasonable and the family who owns and runs the business is very helpful.

I've been buying firewood here for more than 25 years. It's good value for money, and the people are always thoughtful and kind. They will even load the firewood in the car for you--which is an extra reason for customer loyalty, for in those 25 years my hands have become too arthritic to unload a whole wheelbarrow. It's an especially nice place to visit come the fall season, with Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the Holidays coming up. Just the scents of the fall and holiday items as you walk in the door gives you that seasonal feeling, as if in a flash of a moment you experience the essence of a lifetime of fall seasons and the scent of firewood. Such a nice place to visit.
