Mid-Atlantic Garden Centers
The mid-Atlantic supports one of the strongest commercial nursery industries in the country, anchored by New Jersey's deep horticultural infrastructure and complemented by Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia, each with their own well-established garden center traditions. The region's moderate climate and four distinct seasons give local centers a long and varied selling season, from spring bulbs and vegetable starts through a strong fall display built around the area's well-known apple and pumpkin harvests.
