About Hollandia
In April of 1964 Founders and proprietors Hans & Sally Reelick opened Hollandia Nurseries in a small 2-car garage in Bethel. The original retail garden center was located next to the Burger House Restaurant in the Bank Plaza on Grassy Plain St in Bethel CT. Shortly thereafter it moved to two locations taking over the Haven Farm on Old Hawleyville Rd where it established its growing facilities and renting a retail location on Stony Hill Rd. Several years later the retail operation was consolidated to Old Hawleyville Rd where it still operates today as Fairfield Countys largest premiere garden center.
Over the years Hollandia has gained a reputation as Connecticuts premiere garden center with hundreds of thousands of plants first-class display gardens and annual community events. The Spring Flower Show is Hollandias main spring event popular for its series of lectures garden tours a season kick-off sale and representatives from major garden brands. The Fall Festival is a popular autumn celebration coupled with an exhibit of antique trucks tractors and farm equipment.
Today were proud to have over 20 acres dedicated to growing and selling Connecticuts finest plants. We have 3 acres of breathtaking gardens that serve not only as our proving grounds for the plants we grow and recommend but also as a terrific inspirational venue where our customers can get ideas for their own garden or see exactly how a particular shrub or tree will mature.
