Chelsea Garden Center.

Worth it, says Antonina. The Chelsea Garden Center is also one of the best plant stores in New York City because they’re one of the few to offer outdoor gardening equipment and plants.

It's on 1 of my list. Each entry below is what I wrote about it there, with my verdict on that list, the fullest first.

Worth it
  • Address444 Van Brunt St & 87 Havemeyer St
  • From my guide, updated January 2024.

Okay before you hop on the subway to Chelsea, I want you to know that the Chelsea Garden Center is actually in Brooklyn… okay, glad we caught that. Being in Brooklyn (where real estate is a lesser premium than Manhattan) the Chelsea Garden Center is one of the biggest plant stores in NYC.

This means that not only is there a wider variety of large plants, there’s also usually more than one of any particular species. This way you can dig and find the healthiest, happiest houseplant to take home with you. The Chelsea Garden Center is also one of the best plant stores in New York City because they’re one of the few to offer outdoor gardening equipment and plants.
