Platt’s Farm Market

I go to Platt’s for all my gardening needs. Nice people to work with, great customer service.

I love Platt’s. It’s family owned with a huge selection of bedding plants, perennials, shrubs, and trees. The quality is exceptional, and they know horticulture and give great advice. Their prices are very competitive which is probably why it’s usually pretty busy. We have bought lots and lots of plant material since we built our house, and 90% has come from Platt’s.
They don’t stock things like tools, or watering cans, but they have a small stack of bedding soil in the spring. There is also a small selection of statuary and pots. They also offer one or two items of local produce whenever it’s in season: asparagus, blueberries, etc. The parking can be tight, but there is usually space across the street.
To address the ‘animal abuse’ concern mentioned by MS, they are soft hearted take in animals that have been abused by someone else. (The parrots belong to the family and are well cared for.)
I am happy to give my business to such a good local company.

I absolutely love this place. I travel 55 miles south just to come here. And in doing so, I save about 40%. The selection of perennials and annuals are simply incredible. And, they do more than just «sell» the plants. There is a very nice gentleman who is very educated and is always happy to help with questions regarding horticulture. He has solved many problems for me, and is happy to offer his expertise. This man know his craft, and is a gem. I have a beautiful yard thanks to Platts and the expertise of the owner and staff. I highly, highly, highly recommend this place.
Oh, and in reading one of the previous reviews titles «holy animal abuse»…I don’t think the reviewer understands something about that chicken. That chicken was «dropped off» in that condition, and Platts took her in. Like they have taken in many strays. They are very good people!

Right down the street from where my apartment used to be, this was a nice view every drive to and from work. Prices are a little high, but they always had the perfect pumpkin!

Really large selection of perennials & annuals here. The «farm market» part is not the best, except that there are parrots on site! We have found the prices to be very competitive for actual plants. We found a nice selection of ornamental grasses & flowering perennials for our yard last week.
There are also a bunch of seasonal items and knick-​knacky garden things that are reasonably priced. Great place to come for fall decorations too like pumpkins & mums. They take all major cards & are a locally owned business. Good stuff.

Seeing this place is out there if it wasn’t for the plants and flowers they have displayed you can easily miss it while driving.
They have alot of things you can buy for your garden from statues, stones, lighting, mulch different trees, fruit trees also you can add to your garden. Its pretty cool also. they have horses, chickens, geese in an area, not free roaming, fenced off .
They also sell fruits, veggies, all fresh… several green houses you can walk into to find that one special plant you want. or tree you want to plant… They do maintain their plants. nothing looks dead, or about to die.
Safe to say my wife and now mother love this place.
Friendly staff, well only saw one guy and he was friendly and very helpful. looks like i will be coming here alot this summer with the lil lady.
Plenty of parking also in the back of their location

I just moved to this area a month ago. I happened to find Platt’s Farm Market and just had to stop. It’s Jersey tomato time and they had plenty! The flowers and trees they sell are gorgeous and VERY healthy. The people who work there, I believe it’s the actual family who run the actual market, are extremely pleasant and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Even one of their exotic parrots said «Hello» to me! LOL A great place to go! Prices aren’t bad either… Highly recommend!

Platt’s Farm Market and Garden Center: Worth a Trip out to Rural South Jersey
I recently posted about my favorite place to buy plants, Greensgrow in Kensington, but Platt’s is another excellent farm market/​garden center you may not know about. I discovered this place through an acquaintance who is a master gardener and recommended it for its vast selection and low prices.
The place is HUGE, with an impressive selection of trees, annuals, perennials, garden decorations, fresh produce, and more. And the prices are considerably lower than what one is accustomed to seeing in the Philly suburbs; if you have a lot to buy, your savings easily make the extra gas money worth it.
Kids might also enjoy going, as it is a working farm with animals, many greenhouses, and an impressive collection of pet parrots (there are at least 7 as I recall). As a bonus, it is pleasant to drive around this lovely, rural part of the state – reminds one why we are called «The Garden State.»
If you enjoy visiting garden centers, Platt’s is a fantastic, one-​of-​a-​kind place where you could spend hours, trust me. I have been to many garden centers, and this one is among the coolest. It is not far off of Route 295.
