Goffle Brook Farm & Garden Center — Local services in Ridgewood

Where do I begin? A year ago, I decided to try my hand at gardening. I was born and raised in the concrete jungle so I don't know a single thing about gardening. I went to this garden center and met with Maggie. She is a saint. She told me everything I needed to know from fertilizer, to crop spacing, to watering amounts and frequency, and also set me up for success by telling me easy crops to try growing first.

Really down to earth folks working there and they are so accommodating! I was able to pick out a natural Frazier Fir wreath and they decorated it for me on the spot. First time I ever did something like this and I had no idea what I was doing but once I showed them a couple pics I found online they were able to put something together for me and it came out perfect and exactly what I had in mind. I am very happy and definitely see myself going again as we get closer...
