Our Story
It all started...
in 1979 Howard K. Freilich, a young, energetic entrepreneur, and horticulturalist founded Blondie’s Treehouse, Inc. The company, conceived over 40 years ago as a one-man show, has grown to be one of the largest horticultural firms in the United States. Known for its innovative designs and excellent customer care, Blondie's has received over fifty national awards for design and service.
Here we are now
Blondies comprises the best that NY has to offer. Our downtown showroom on 242 West 30th Street houses our landscape design staff and urban horticultural services. On display are the many product lines that Blondie’s offers from furniture and vessels to botanically inspired décor. You will also find a number of model greenwalls, where we test various products, and through their maintenance have a deeper understanding of the systems. It’s a great place to stop in and see what’s going on. Pay us a visit anytime.
Our flower studio is situated in the heart of New York City, granting us access to the unique finds the city has to offer. Blondie’s has established relationships with the best local growers as well as Europe, South America, Israel and South Africa who ship directly to us, providing us with the highest quality and the freshest product available.
Thirty miles north of NYC, in Mamaroneck New York, you will find our greenhouses and corporate headquarters. A renovated, one hundred year old factory provides us with over 35,000 square feet, where we are able to accommodate our one acre exterior yard, greenhouses, interior plant center, holiday showroom and storage facility, special event workshop, replica studio and administration offices, all under one roof. With our fleet of vehicles, housed in Westchester, we can easily reach all of our clients in the tri-state area and beyond.
