Jim is a landscape designer who has been in this business for most of his life. He took his first job at 13 years old working at a perennial farm and later attended the SUNY Farmingdale Horticulture program. For many years he worked for a prestigious landscape design firm in East Hampton, but always knew that he wanted to own his own place. On May 1, 2010 he realized that dream by opening Acer’s Florist and Garden Center.  The name “Acer” is the botanical name for maple tree and is also the name of his youngest son.  They recently celebrated their Fifth Anniversary.

As a family owned business, they are committed to quality and customer service by providing larger and healthier products at a fair price along with the knowledge and service to make all your landscaping a successful endeavor. Acer’s Florist and Garden Center carries many items from local vendors, assuring your money stays in the community.  They belong to the local Commack Jewish Center, and are heavily involved with the community. They donate to many school funtions and community events.  In the future they will be holding educational seminars on planting, and special events for holidays such as Halloween pumpkin picking, Easter egg hunts and of course Santa will be there at Christmas!
