About us
Picture
Established in 1939, Peterson's Nursery has developed from a roadside produce stand to a full service garden center and landscaping company. What started with a 6 year old selling blackberries in front of his family home, has turned into a second-generation family business located on nearly 8 acres of land bordering Princeton and Lawrenceville, NJ. We still carry fresh local produce, much of which is grown onsite.
Peterson's Nursery has been at the forefront of 'organic' gardening for decades. In the early 1980's we eliminated chemical pesticide spraying of our plant inventory and made the switch to beneficial insects, including everybody's favorite, the Ladybug!
Had very different flowers. Plus a sweet small fern.

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.
