Starkie Bros Garden Center - Farmingdale, New York

Update 4/2025: Brianna was super helpful in my latest visit. I just love the variety of garden decor, statues, and organic garden seeds, which is fabulous! Taylor was kind enough to order something I've been trying to find. I definitely will be back shortly because of the care they give their plants. Starkie clearly has a dedicated team and I know any plants I purchase are healthy and cared for. I bought numerous strawberry plants last year and they are thriving. With other nurseries, it's hit or miss. Gardening is a labor of love but you can waste a lot of money if you buy plants that are not healthy. I'm glad I can trust Starkie Bros for this reason. 😊

What a beautiful store! There are so many beautiful garden decor items that it's hard to choose.

They have a wonderful organic seedling selection that is competitively priced. They also have a wide variety of perennials and annuals to choose from.

This was my first shopping experience here, and my only complaint is that I didn't shop in here sooner. The shop is very nicely maintained. I will be back!

Starkie has a nice selection of pots, dishes and other plant accessories. My girlfriend and I have purchased several plants from here and they are all thriving. They also have cute goats outside!

Our Elementary school in Jericho has been using Starkie for our plant sales for the past 3 years. We couldn't be happier with the plants and products we receive from them. The quality of the plants are always outstanding - healthy, vibrant, and delivered perfectly. Their customer service is equally exceptional. They are incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and ensured our order arrived on time. We highly recommend Starkie to anyone looking for top notch plants and amazing service. We'll definitely be working with them for all of our garden needs and future events.

I love coming to this nursery. Everyone is extremely friendly and helpful. Yes their pricing is slightly more than the same exact thing at a big box store, however I will continue purchasing from them due to the experience and the wealth of information and knowledge everyone is willing to share.

I’ve worked with Hank and quite a few others and everyone has great to work will. I will continue coming here for all my planting needs.

Starkie's is my favorite Garden Center! It's a pleasure every time you go there. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I try to learn something each time I go. Great selection at reasonable prices. Family owned.

I would give more stars but the cost was a bit steeper than other nurseries n I'm not sold on the idea that the quality makes up the difference. That said, I ordered 2 different varieties of their 4" pot grape vines. One survived and appears to be thriving this year, already standing 3' tall but not quite mature enough to start branching. The other didn't make it but i ordered in the fall so it's possible it was environmental impact rather than the plant. Overall it's doing as well as the one I purchased at the local nursery for less cost, but also seems to be growing faster. Could be coincidence. I'll prob keep an eye this year and make a decision on ordering again in fall planting time.

We hosted 2 goat yoga classes for a fundraiser and they were incredible! Thank you for the laughs, fun and memories! The store was also clean and beautiful, and the staff was very nice and friendly!
