Peter and Melinda Madden - Opening Weekend, 1995

Madden Family Farms is a family business that has been helping customers transform their homes and landscapes for over 25 years.

We look forward to helping customers with their choices and are always ready to advise on the appropriate plant, tree, or shrub for a specific spot.

Our staff loves to help select the right plants for a customer's landscape and garden. We ask for pictures and dimensions of the area to better help you select the appropriate plant material - which ones need more sun or shade, which ones need a lot of water, and which are deer resistant.

"We just love this business. Watching tiny seedlings grow into lush, beautiful plants is exciting. I love the beauty of the garden center, and I love making our customers happy with all the beautiful flowers we grow."

- Melinda Madden

Maddens’ is able to maintain the same prices for years because they grow all their own plants (both annuals and perennials) and 90 percent of their shrubs. The plants are, and always will be, locally grown in Franklin Township on preserved farmland. Maddens’ product is truly New Jersey-grown.
