Arvin Produce & Garden Center

"Family operated not corporate and they know what they are talking about with plants! Good values. I have been buying From them since 2012"

"Purchased my Christmas tree here. Great selection and service. Always stop by for the baked goods."

"Been there multiple times. They have the sweetest pumpkin setup for fall. They sell everything for a backyard make over,not just plants and shrubs. My husband and I re-did our path in the front and purchased stones for our pond and new DIY walkway. LOVE the staff. They also currently sell locally made ice cream from Metuchen. So cute!"

"Getting plants for the fall season . Also picked up produce for dinner . Like that they maintain the farm stand atmosphere . Everything I expected was here . Assortment of flowers is great . The yard will be nice . Get your plantings here & relax the rest of the season ."

"This is my first Google review. Before you purchase from Arvin Produce and Garden Center (Arvin), please read about my May 2019 experience at this place. Wanting to use a local business, I bought 5 cu. yards of dyed-brown wood mulch (receipt attached - Picture 1) for home delivery. Arvin's dropped the mulch off with no problems; delivery guy came early in the morning and was courteous. The mulch looked like what I ordered, so the driver dumped the mulch and left. Later that day I began loading the mulch into my wheelbarrow to bring around the yard, and started seeing pieces of blue-painted wood, dark wires and plastic, aluminum fragments, bits of glass. Not a total surprise, but I picked out what I could. However, as I put more into the wheelbarrow, the more of those items became visible. Getting concerned, I put the items into a plastic bag and went to Arvin's to show them what was in their mulch. I told the manager I wasn't looking to get my money back; I just wanted to make him aware what was in the mulch Arvin's was selling. The manager indicated that his supplier included pallets in the mulching process, and that I was the first person to ever complain about the mulch. After several days of rainy weather, I started to get back into placing the mulch. As I put the mulch from the pile into the wheelbarrow again, along with more pieces of the above-referenced items, rusted nails (lots of them) started to become somewhat visible (see attached Picture 2). The other items were easier to see and pick-out, but since I have young children and pets running around, and the rusted nails blended in with the other material so well, I stopped using the mulch. I collected the nails and went back to Arvin's. I met with the same manager, and again told him I didn't want my money back, but this time to please come and take back what was left; approximately 4 cu. yards. He seemed upset that I was there and again indicated that I was the only person to complain about the mulch. I asked him, what he would do in my situation. He stated the following: "I wouldn't be looking for nails in the first place", and "You can't prove those nails came for my mulch.". I asked him once again to take the mulch back. He stated "No, take me to court"."
