Bacardi on the Lime bags
"We
sat in the garden,
I indolently reading…
We had the best display
of flowers yet seen—
wall flowers in profusion, columbines, phlox, and …huge scarlet poppies.”

August Garden Tips:
Fall Lawn Care can start now. Mid-August to
the end of September is the best time to re-seed your lawn, or start
a new one. Fertilizing is best done now too. Stop in and
chat with one of us for more information.
Water water water!
Keep fertilizing! A monthly application of
a slow release fertilizer like Organica's Plant Booster Plus or
Chickity Doo-Doo is great to keep annual flowers blooming all summer
into fall. For REALLY great blooms, try a liquid bone meal
application.
Keep an eye out for chewing bugs, deer and wilt
or rot caused by fungi. We have the natural solutions for you
here.
Spring Bulbs are arriving soon, and the mums are
in!

A Unique Retail Garden Center and
Nursery
Our retail garden center has a beautiful selection of plants for
you to choose from. You will notice that each plant receives
personal attention and we are always on the lookout for the unusual
specimen, and will help you find the special plant you want. Our
selection of garden accessories is different from the rest, and we
hope you'll find the perfect compliment to your landscape--perhaps
an arbor, bird bath, or a garden sculpture.
A Hidden New Jersey Gem
If you live in Northern New Jersey, and you are an avid gardener
who loves exploring garden centers that truly care about the product
they sell, you will have a wonderful experience at Glenwild Garden
Center. We love what we do, and so will you.
Alexander J. MacKenn
Sr. started his landscape business in 1928, often using a team of
oxen to accomplish a job. Constantly evolving and responding
to the needs of the community, Alex and his wife Mabel added the
retail shop in 1958. After getting a degree in Landscape
Design & Horticulture, Alex Jr. started designing and running crews
in 1962, and he and his father worked together for at least 20 busy
years. Then the third generation came in. In 1990, Brad,
now a Certified Landscape Architect, came on full time, and then
Jodie started in 1992. (With a totally unrelated degree, but a
love of plants and spreading the organic gardening word). The
business truly is ‘a labor of love’ for this family.
