Manahawkin, NJ

It's Manahawkin's Green Tree Garden Center & Landscaping for All Your Gardening Needs in Southern Ocean County!

Laura Giannotta   Keller Williams Atlantic : Real Estate Agent in Little Egg Harbor, NJ
Green Tree Garden Center and Landscaping in Manahawkin, NJ provides area residents with healthy indoor and outdoor plants, as well as great landscape design. Located at 1412 Route 72 (just past the WaWa) in Manahawkin, I'm always stopping by to check out the shrubs and trees, and to chat about my small garden.

My TomatoesYesterday's visit was to pick up organic fertilizer for my tomato plants.
They're having a tough summer. Loads of tomatoes early on, but nothing new!
I found out from Jim Ruta, owner of Green Tree Garden Center, that I'm not alone. It's the wet summer at the Jersey Shore that's caused many a home gardener problems with their crops.

Manahawkin's Green Tree Garden Center and Landscaping offers a full range of organic fertilizers for everything from flowers to tomatoes. It's the great service and information that they provide that sets Green Tree Garden Center apart from the big box stores selling plants and fertilizers.

Green Tree even provides information from the Save the Barnegat Bay organization and Clean Ocean Action aimed at lessening the impact on the Barnegat Bay from excessive nitrogen. Nitrogen from fertilizer run off is causing big problems in the Bay, suffocating the eco system!

Jim Ruta is a Landscape Architect and runs Green Tree Garden Center and Landscaping in Manahawkin with his family. Green Tree has hard workers and quality plants and plant materials (They also install pavers!).
Jim will work with you to design a flower garden, or a garden with indigenous plants that won't require excessive watering or soil maintenance...A good for the environment garden!
Green Tree is open daily and you can reach the Garden Center at 609-597-5229.

Fresh Seafood in Manahawkin Doesn't Require a Drive to Long Beach Island!

Laura Giannotta   Keller Williams Atlantic : Real Estate Agent in Little Egg Harbor, NJ

Fresh seafood in Manahawkin does not have to involve a ride over the Causeway to Long Beach Island. A great Manahawkin seafood option is the Exit 63 Seafood Corner, located at 743 E Bay Avenue in Manahawkin!

Open year round, Exit 63 Seafood Corner combines great prepared seafood and a fresh fish market. On my last visit, I had Blackened Tuna over rice ($19.00), while my dining partner had a wonder seafood combination in a white wine garlic sauce over linguini (also $19.). There are daily specials, and it's the freshest seafood in Manahawkin.

Exit 63 Fish Market

This time of year it's good to have a local Manahawkin seafood restaurant, because after a long day the last thing you want is to battle the crowds at restaurants on Long Beach Island.

The Exit 63 Seafood Corner building itself is small, and it's been a Manahawkin seafood staple for years. I had been there when it was known as Corey's, but the new Exit 63 owners have taken it to the next level...fine dining and fresh seafood in Manahawkin.

Exit 63 Seafood Corner

I first tried dinner at Exit 63 Seafood Corner in April, well before the summer crowds. It was on the recommendation of a client, and what a find!

Exit 63 Seafood Corner is open daily, and also serves lunch. The service is fast and friendly. Seafood prices vary due to changes in market prices for the freshest seafood in Manahawkin. There is no liquor license, so bring your own wine, they'll provide glasses and chilling buckets if needed.
