Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
The crew was very friendly and walked the property with me before planting so we could discuss where the trees would be planted. They were very thorough and left the property clean afterwards. Definitely recommend their installation service.
Ordered online and came the next day. Exactly what I was looking for. Tree was in great shape.

These were exactly what we were hoping for. The foliage has a really nice golden tint that brightens up our yard compared to the typical dark green arborvitae. Plants arrived healthy and planted easily. Very happy with the purchase.
