14th Street Garden Center

Little pricey but well worth it. Great selection all year long. Friendly and knowledge staff.
Some cool arrangements old there. Especially with the succulents.
Wish I had more space to fill with plants
Have fun

I have tried to love this place given that it is the only true nursery near my home and I am a gardening enthusiast; however, after thousands of dollars spent here on multiple visits — I am a disappointed customer.
We purchased 2 trees and large expensive outdoor planters to hold them. We also employed the Garden Center to plant them for us, and they assured us that these plants and pots would survive the winter. Both the holly tree and the euwanamus tree were entirely dead by the end of March. I returned to the Garden Center and was given a $ 100 credit towards the purchase of a new tree, and told that the euwanamus might come back to life if I bought a $ 20 growth serum to apply to it. This was not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I bought another tree — this time a japanese maple and got the serum. The euwanamus has not come back, and I also discovered that one of the winter-​proof expensive pots cracked severely during the winter. This was the pot that I put a hydrangea plant from the Garden Center into, which I was promised would flower. It has not flowered and spring is now over.
A trip to the garden center 2 blocks away at Home Depot further aggravated my frustration with 14^th St. because I discovered that all of their trees are 100% refunded if they die in the first year AND their japanese maple trees of a similar size as the ones on offer at 14^th St were a third of the price. Potting soil was also 50% less.
I will probably still come to 14^th St. Garden Center because I am a plant junkie and they have some interesting things that Home Depot doesn’t offer. However, buyer be warned — large purchases here are not a good idea — especially when very similar options are available 2 blocks away. Also — take their gardening advice with more than a grain of salt as it seems they will say anything to make a sale.
Finally — the pansies at Home Depot were hardier than 14^th St.‘s — so don’t get those there either!

I was looking for flowers to plant in big flower pots to place by our front doorway. I cannot recall who I was speaking to while I was there but he was very helpful in finding what I was looking for. I already had the pots and the person that was helping me replanted the flowers I bought in the pots. The only cost would be if additional soil was needed. The service to re-​plant was free. I gave the guy a $ 10 tip anyway because he was very helpful on what I was looking for. It is as cheap as Home Depot? no. but if you are a novice with flowers and plants and need answers to questions you may have and would like a large selection to choose from, I would come here.

Went here after a bad experience somewhere else. Very relieved & happy. The staff here helped me find a plant for an elderly person that I was buying as a gift. Good selection here. The other store had more selection but this store, being a bit on the small side — was still very helpful, thorough & attentive.

Knowledgable staff lady steered my wavering consideration for an outdoor frost resistant pot container! She had her coworker hoist the 20″-round painted olive jar terra-​cotta one with antique white finish ($ 110) and lifted 4cu’s of soil into the car. Can I say service? So what there was a huge dog dump of a negligent owner in be middle of the parking street?
I had shopped at JC Home Depot last spring garden season and was quite a different knowledgable experience and albeit different prices though none of the containers and perennials and annuals lasted one season. Quite a wasted of money
The selections are vast here. Seasonal Lilacs galore and they also had three types of Lavenders which was a feat and I chose the Provence ~$ 15 and hope to post the longevity and flowering of these lovelies who will help thwart the amount of flys and flying creatures revolving around my Dogwood… stay tuned…

I love everyone at 14^th Street. very helpful, informative, and extremely convenient if you live in the area. What a huge variety, too!

I love this garden center! They have lots of stock and the staff is incredibly knowledgable and friendly. I come here to buy seeds, soil, plants, and get advice on my plants that need help.

The team here was absolutely amazing and above all, patient. I have four new beauties to showcase in my home and can’t wait to come back in a few weeks for some summer blooms! Thanks

It’s easy to rush past this place on the way out of the Holland Tunnel and miss it. But, if you need a garden center just outside Manhattan, it’s easy to get to, has a nice selection and is staffed by knowledgeable folks. We have a small patio area, and they took the time to recommend the right plants and planters for us.

When it comes to getting an affordable Christmas tree, hassle-​free in Jersey City, I couldn’t more highly recommend 14^th street garden center. Placed my order online ($ 87 dollars for a 6 foot tree plus delivery — which was well under the price I found looking around at other places that delivered). I then called to see if I could arrange for delivery at a certain time (since they said it would be delivered same day, but I work until 6). It was not a problem at all. They booked me for the time I needed. When the time came, they had not arrived and I received a phone call from them, saying they would be about an hour late. Normally I would be annoyed but the woman was SO overly nice and apologetic. It’s not often you get people that actually care about their customers and feel bad for the inconvenience. When the tree arrived an hour later it looked great. The delivery men were super nice as well. All in all, it was a great experience and beats having to lug a tree home on the train any day. I will be getting my tree from 14^th st garden center for years to come for sure.

Excellent selections of healthy plants with strong root systems… no shrinking violets here!
I return every year to purchase colorful summer pots of flowers to adorn my porch for the Corpus Christie procession of my church. Cost is more than Home Depot and similar places but you are getting high quality items. Courteous & knowledgeable staff who assist you with a pleasant attitude which is hard to find these days. They do deliver for a small fee, but I use my car since they cover every bit with plastic and gently pack my treasures for a short ride home. They also have live ladybugs to help naturally control pesky insects! And I use them for every planting. Works like a charm.
Soon I’m going for my fall mums but my summer plants are still in bloom, that’s the good quality (and weather) with very little upkeep.
Spend a little extra $ and you will be quite pleased for the fullness and vribrance of their products! Safe, convenient, free parking on both sides.

What a wonderful little place! It’s packed with so many planting options. They’re incredibly helpful. As a novice gardener trying to make a container garden on my fire escape, they were so helpful. They helped me pick which plants would grow best, design an appealing arrangement and potted them for me! After which they put them in a box and brought them out to my car. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

I have driven past this Garden center for many years, before finally venturing in this past weekend! I am not sure why I waited so long!
They have a beautiful selection of succulents, seeds, flowers, wood, pots… anything a gardener could want! I came in for some succulents for a terranium I got for Christmas. The had tons to choose from, as well as many «pre-​made» succulent arrangements.
I rode my bike, so I couldn’t get much… but I wanted to buy everything in this store!
The people who work here are surprisingly friendly and knowledgeable about the plants. I had some questions, and they readily and easily answered. The prices might be a little more here, but you won’t get that kind of customer service at the nearby Home Depot.

14^th Street Garden Center is a place that I will frequent in the Spring, Summer and sometimes Fall.
You have heard the expression «you can take the guy out of the suburbs but you can’t take the suburbs out of the guy». Well, that is me.
Definitely not much of a flower guy but I will plant bulbs in our small front yard that bloom in the Spring and early Summer. Still haven’t found bulbs that are late Summer/​early Fall. Still working on that.
Our backyard is rather large for Jersey City but the ground is really not good for much planting due to the root system of two really large trees in the neighbor’s yard. It has turned me into an Urban Gardener, which is growing things in containers.
I have purchased several items from this store. A blueberry bush that has been doing pretty well in our harsh winters. And I replaced a Hosta that did not one winter.
The staff very knowledgable and helpful will all your gardening needs. They have plenty of herbs and you purchase propane for your grill and all your Holiday decorating items at Christmas (i.e. trees and wreaths).

Hands down, this was one of the best customer service experiences of my life. It felt like I was receiving the kind of humane service people experience in the suburbs of slower-​paced states. The staff was very approachable and walked around with me to educate which plants might fair well under the conditions of my home. He repotted a cactus I had brought and was incredibly patient with me as I asked questions and picked out two more plants for my apartment. He also repotted those plants in ceramic pots I had bought at the store. This garden center has a wealth of beautiful plants and the prices were affordable. I will absolutely be back. I am very happy to recommend this place and to even encourage people who live in Manhattan to head out to Jersey City to experience a wonderful business and fantastic customer service.

I have schlepped many Christmas trees home to various apartments over the years, but this year I decided to call the 14^th Street Garden Center, after seeing their delivery trucks in Hoboken. I have never ordered a tree sight-​unseen, but I am happy with the tree I received. The delivery men were very professional. They placed the tree into the stand and secured it for me. Delivery was same-​day.

I like plants. You like plants. Growing up in a relatively suburban area, my family was able to get its plant fix simply by visiting one of the many local garden centers, parking on a dirt and/​or gravel lot, and walking around with a classic Radio Flyer wagon loading up on whatever greenery felt right at the time.
In a comparatively less suburban area, I still like green things in my apartment. Short of battling 1 – 9 and heading «inland», there was once a time where I thought going to Home Depot in Jersey City was my only option for a large selection.
…Somehow purchasing plants from the top of a parking garage didn’t resonate.
Like me, I bet you’ve driven by this place a lot. And like me, perhaps the location threw you off. How good could it be right in the middle of the Holland Tunnel /​1 – 9 /​I-​78 on/​off/​on/​off ramp?
Very good. They have a great selection of green goods, flowers, orchids, pots, soils, seasonal stuff (mums, pumpkins) etc., all comparatively inexpensive to what you would find elsewhere. The people in there were more than helpful, and what we got lasted a very long time. With parking on both sides, it is one of the few places in Hoboken/​Jersey City you can truly drive to, park at, and get in and out of without a second thought.

Small business in Jersey City selling everything you need for plants and stuff. Home Depot is their competition, so I say support local and buy from them.

We wanted a Christmas tree. We have no car. And most cabbies aren’t up for the idea of bringing a tree along for a ride. Some Unilocaling + Googling led us to 14^th Street Garden Center. They deliver!
Getting there by foot is a slightly perilous adventure, but once there, it was a magical land of trees! Way better than a standard «tree lot» and the service was great. The price was a bit higher than I’m used to, but I’ve always bought trees in the MIdwest on actual tree farms. So while the price seemed high, I think we got good value for the NJ/​NYC area (from what I’ve learned pricing trees out beforehand). For twenty bucks extra, they not only delivered our tree a couple hours later, but the delivery guys got it all set up in the stand and everything and took the netting back with them. They were totally pros and super friendly.
Our Christmas tree is lovely, they also carried stands and tree bags, we’re set for Christmas and our apartment smells of Fir-​y awesomeness.
I love you 14^th Street Garden Center!
(p.s. — the regular plant selection looked rather lovely, so I hope to come back in the Springtime for flowers and such).

I didn’t know this existed! Probably because I’m always in such a rush driving somewhere. I came here to get some wild flowers to put in a vintage bottle I just purchased, and went home with some sunflowers ($ 12) and a pot of beautiful pink and white orchids which only costed $ 40! One of the bulbs just bloomed last night too! The staff was friendly and helpful and the space was very clean. The beautiful butterflies in the garden were a nice touch as well.
