About River Valley Nursery

Service and Quality

Our family business now in its third generation was originally started to supply large specimen size plant material for our own landscape projects. Before and during the 1980’s not many growers grew larger plant material. However, larger homes were being built and so larger specimens were needed for the scale of these homes. Large specimen evergreens, dwarf conifers, caliper shade and flowering trees were hard to find in large sizes and only offered by a handful of growers. Today we sell wholesale to landscapers, re-wholesalers and garden centers in the Mid-Atlantic, New England and Midwestern regions of the United States.

Today the farm covers 80 acres in Asbury, New Jersey. Many of our harder-to-find evergreens start as liners in our own greenhouses, which saves time in production and lets us grow plants we can't buy elsewhere.

We're a boutique grower with a wide range rather than a single crop: specimen evergreens and conifers, columnar screening plants like American Pillar and Thin Man arborvitae, hornbeam hedging, shade and flowering trees, and hydrangeas. We were one of the first growers to field-plant American Pillar for B&B production and have grown it since its release.

We ship throughout New England, the Mid-Atlantic and the Midwest, including Long Island and Staten Island, and can arrange delivery or load your own trucker at our yard. You'll also find us at MANTS in Baltimore every January.
