Chelsea Garden Center - Brooklyn, New York

Now that Spring is here in NYC, it’s planting season! I stumbled upon this place on my way home. They have so many wonderful healthy plants and so much variety. The staff was super welcoming and helpful. It’s close to the Red Hook ferry terminal. I definitely recommend this place for your plant needs!!

Chelsea Garden Center Red Hook has been my go-to nursery since I established my garden four years ago. The selection and quality is fantastic, and you can always find some gems there you likely won't find anywhere else. The staff is awesome - Linda & Gina particularly rock! David is a fount of knowledge and clearly passionate all things garden! If they don't have something in particular you're looking for, ask! They may be able to order it for you. It's not my only source, but it is my first and most frequent! My perennial garden is almost entirely sourced from CGC.

I went to the Chelsea Garden Center to outfit my office with plants. I had to thread the needle of finding things my boss would like, staying within budget and choosing plants that can stand the rigors of office life.

The staff was extremely helpful in putting together a plan that fit all my constraints. They also had all the pots and dirt I needed.

Delivery was fast and efficient. Nothing was broken and the plants and trees made it without any damage.

So sad I couldn't buy anything as I'm just visiting. This place has tons of cool plants, gorgeous pots, and friendly staff!

I had such a wonderful experience at Chelsea Gardens today… I had two plants that needed to be shown extra TLC and Ashley was just so helpful and beyond informative. I couldn’t thank her enough. I had a wonderful lesson on how to take care of my plants keeping them healthy and I walked out with a new plant a beautiful plant. You will definitely not be disappointed coming to this nursery.

The cons: Don’t come here expecting anybody to spend time helping you unless you’re spending a ton of money. I’ve had staff walk away from me while I was asking questions because they were “too busy”. The manager is patronizing. Others are willing to answer one question, but then run away and lose patience with you.

The pros: hard to find a better selection of plants in Brooklyn. The price is probably appropriate for the quality and selection and lack of other convenient options. Just don’t expect any help.
