Agree. Central and southern NJ, and southeast PA are excellent gardening areas, for all types of plants. There is a reason the Philadelphia Flower Show is one of the best in the country. Large and beautiful sod farms in central NJ. Good blueberries from NJ. Lush, colorful and complex residential gardens/landscaping all through southeast PA. Azaleas, rhododendrons and hydrangea thrive in this area.

There was (is?) an NPR radio show in Philadelphia on gardening. There is a well established home garden culture in the mid-Atlantic, in addition to substantial commercial operations.
