It is with great sadness that we inform you all that Neil Van Sloun, founder of Sylvan Nursery, has passed away at the age of 90. He and his wife Sylvia (Sue) started Sylvan Nursery in 1966 and guided it to be the outstanding company it is today.

Neil was a quiet pillar of the surrounding communities in his work as a philanthropist and as an employer. He will be remembered by the countless individuals whose lives that he touched over the last 57 years, whether they are "raised" just for a season or for a lifetime at Sylvan Nursery.

HE WILL BE MISSED ...!!

Visit our sprawling nursery today

Sylvan Nursery provides the plants you need to make your landscape projects stand out. We carry trees, shrubs, perennials, along with hard to find and larger sized plants to give you a look that you are proud of. Although we are predominately known as a wholesale supplier to the trade, we do sell retail. Our help to the retail customer is limited to selecting and gathering the plants on your list. If you need design help, contact Landscape Architects or designers for your planning. Garden Centers offer advice and planning for those wanting to purchase plants from them. Call a Landscape Contractor for the installation of your plants; we do not provide this service.

Our Sales team can be reached at 508-636-4573.

Sylvan Nursery offers the best plants, trees, and greenhouse variety in the Westport, MA area

A few facts and figures about our nursery

Your customers count on you to make their spaces look lush and beautiful. You'll never let them down when you purchase your plants from Sylvan Nursery. Here are a few things you should know about us:

  • Sylvan Nursery has been a staple of southeastern Massachusetts since 1966 when we opened one 50-foot greenhouse on our property. In the beginning, running the nursery was a part-time hobby. It quickly grew into a full-fledged business with 6 growing areas nearby.
  • We serve more than 6,000 customers all over New England. Most of our customers run their own landscaping firms, garden centers and retail stores.
  • Our thriving wholesale yard specializes in providing all the plants needed to complete any planting project.
  • We purchase and pot about 200,000 bare-root plants every year. We also plant out some items in our field to grow on and shift up potted plants into larger sized containers. Our nursery is well stocked from early March to early December.
