Our Story

From the moment he planted his first backyard garden as a child, Rich Densel dreamed of someday running his own greenhouse. After twenty-five years as a grower in commercial greenhouses, his dream came true when he and his wife, Priscilla, purchased a 12-acre farm in West Milford, New Jersey. Together with his family, which includes three young children, Rich cultivates high-quality, carefully-nurtured plants and grows the majority of his products on site.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We are passionate about growing plants that are strong—ready to face the varied weather we have in NJ. To accomplish this, we acclimate our plants to the outdoors by using rolling tables, which can be kept inside or outside the greenhouse. The plants slowly “harden off” so that when they are on the shelves ready to sell, they are ready to face the elements. We also use biological controls to help defend against harmful pests and diseases, instead of traditional and often harmful pesticides.
No, these pots are oat grass, which is part of our Biological Control Program. We use them to breed the parasitic wasp Aphidius colemani, which helps control aphids without the use of harmful chemical pesticides. Don’t worry, these tiny wasps are the size of a fruit fly and completely harmless to people and pets(unless of course you consider aphids pets!) Ask us about the other ways we control plant diseases and insect pests organically!
We are glad you asked! These are breeding sachets for the predatory mite Amblysies cucumeris, a biological control agent that preys on western flower thrips, a harmful insect pest. We use these instead of chemical pesticides, as part of our Biological Control Program. Ask us about the other ways we control plant diseases and insect pests organically!
The Drop-N-Grow is a special bowl designed by Grower’s Choice which contains combinations of seasonal plants. Slits in the bottom air prune the roots, making them ready to take off when transplanted. Much thought is put into the selection of the plants so they can grow well together. The plants can easily be transplanted into a larger pot, hanging basket, or the ground as a beautiful combination.
