Planters' Choice
Connecticut's Premier Grower and Wholesaler of Nursery Stock
Our Story
Planter's Choice, LLC, a full service wholesale nursery, was founded in march 1970 by Chuck Newman. The original nursery consisted of one propagation house and two fifty foot hoop houses.
To service customers, the Newtown location has a 15-acre sales yard that offers a complete line of nursery stock, as well as a diverse line of hard goods. The Watertown facility offers the same high quality product line and service on 15-acres.
Growing operations have expanded to encompass a gutter connected four bay greenhouse as well as eight others for propagation. Over 200 hoop houses are used for ornamental container production, encompassing 40 acres. There are currently 13 acres of perennial production in Watertown. Over 150 acres of field grown nursery stock exist on five farms in Watertown and Woodbury. About 10,000 trees are dug each year and sold almost entirely through our two sales yards.

Our Production Farms
We are not just a Sales Yard; behind the scenes we grow all perennials and over half our shrubs and trees in house.
Perennial Farm
Our perennial farm is dedicated to growing a diverse selection of high-quality perennials, all available exclusively at our location. By keeping these plants in-house, we’re able to closely monitor their growth, health, and seasonal readiness. From classic favorites to unique varieties, our perennials are carefully maintained to ensure they perform beautifully once they reach your landscape.
Meadowbrook Farm
At Meadowbrook, we grow a wide range of container shrubs and trees designed for flexibility and convenience. Container-grown material allows for a longer planting window and easier handling, making it a great option throughout the season. Our team carefully tends each plant to promote strong structure, healthy root systems, and consistent quality you can rely on.
Tree Farm
Our tree farms span six locations across Watertown and Woodbury, where we field-grow a large selection of trees and shrubs, both deciduous and evergreen. This material is dug twice a year—once in the spring and again in the fall—timed with optimal transplanting windows. Throughout the year, our team prunes, spaces, and maintains each crop to ensure strong, well-developed plants that establish successfully in their new homes.
