Our History

At Abby’s Parkside Nursery & Florist, we take gardening as seriously as you. Whether you’re an avid gardener, weekend warrior or a do-it-yourselfer, we’re here for you.

Why is Abby’s known as the go-to place among amateur and professional gardeners alike? One word: commitment.

Abby’s is a three-generations family owned and operated full-service garden center. Not only do we have soil in our blood, we have it under our nails too. With more than 50 years retail gardening experience and horticultural degrees under our belt, we understand your gardening needs. From knowing about organic fertilizers to choosing the best seed program for your lawn, we’re here to answer all your gardening questions.

As a boutique nursery, we take pride in our knowledgeable and courteous staff and service. In other words, we value you, our customer. Abby's has been located in Wantagh since 1989. You might say we’ve put down some roots. Building long-term relationships is something we’re very fond of. And to prove our loyalty, we offer complimentary carry-outs to your car.

The only thing better than our dedicated service is our superb quality and selection of vibrant flowering plants, annuals, perennials and shrubs and our large variety of vegetables and herbs. Whether you want to landscape your entire property or your front patio needs sprucing up, we will help you select the appropriate plants for your gardening needs.

But we don’t stop with beautifying only the outside of your home. Abby’s also works magic indoors with our full-service florist. We offer fresh-cut flowers, spectacular fruit and holiday baskets as well as special occasion centerpieces. In addition, we design and deliver funeral arrangements and send wire services and gift baskets anywhere you’d like.

So stop by and say hello. Come see for yourself what everyone else knows. At Abby’s Parkside Nursery & Florist, we make all your gardening dreams come true.
