Frequently Asked Questions
What expertise do you bring to shrub care and disease management?
Alex's background in Natural Resource Sciences and experience managing native plant nurseries, combined with Jenna's Conservation Biology training, gives us a scientific foundation for shrub care. We provide comprehensive services including disease and insect management, pruning, transplanting, and removal. Our approach focuses on plant health and sustainable solutions, whether you're dealing with common shrub diseases or need preventive care to keep your landscape thriving.
How do you help with common local issues like weed infestation and sprinkler coverage gaps?
For Cream Ridge residents dealing with weed problems, we offer organic solutions like I Must Garden animal repellent and Dr. Earth compost to improve soil health naturally. We can assess your landscape to identify sprinkler coverage gaps and recommend appropriate plants or irrigation adjustments. Our shrub maintenance services also help prevent weed growth by keeping plants healthy and properly spaced.
What types of plants and products can I find at your nursery?
We carry a wide selection including Easter flowers (tulips, hyacinths, hydrangeas), annuals, vegetables, perennials, and shrubs. Our products focus on organic and sustainable options like Black Gold potting soil, worm castings, Dr. Earth compost, and non-GMO seeds. We also offer garden tools and can special order items upon request. As local gardeners ourselves, we select plants that thrive in Cream Ridge's conditions.
