Description

Specialties

Great Swamp Greenhouses is a unique, family owned garden center located in the heart of the Great Swamp National Wildlife Refuge. Open all year round, they specialize in poinsettias at Christmas, houseplants in the winter, mums in the fall, and annuals and perennials in the spring and summer.

What makes them different from other garden centers?

They grow almost all of their own plants at this retail location and another 51 acre farm in Pittstown, NJ. This eliminates the middle man and lets them control the quality and prices of their plants, while still providing you with great customer service.

History

Established in 1978.

Owner Michael Beneduce is a 3rd generation grower who learned the business at his grandfather’s farm stand, «Amato’s», in Madison, NJ. At only 19 years old, Michael purchased the property here in Meyersville and began to build the 1st quarter of the greenhouse, selling both wholesale and retail to customers who followed from Amato’s. Today, our operation is 100% retail and we service customers from Staten Island, Connecticut and New York in addition to our valued locals.

Our daughter, Justen, graduated from Rutgers University, Cook College with a B.S. in Agricultural Science in 2008, and our son, Michael, graduated from Cornell University with two BS degrees: one in Plant Science and one in Viticulture (grape growing) and Enology (winemaking) in 2010. Our youngest son, Kevin, is currently studying Horticulture and Landscape Design at Penn State, so we plan to be here for quite a while!

Why grape growing and winemaking? Because we just opened Beneduce Vineyards in Pittstown, NJ!
