What is Jersey Grown?

All nursery stock marketed under the "Jersey Grown" logo shall be propagated and/or grown in New Jersey for a period of at least 6 months prior to retail sale, maintained free of injurious insects and plant diseases and meet or exceed the nursery stock and plant standards set forth by the American Nursery and Landscape Association.

If the label says Jersey Grown, you know it is accustomed to New Jersey's soil and growing conditions, checked for quality, and is free from disease and plant pests. Also, because it’s grown right here in New Jersey, you know it meets the highest standards.
