Hi, I’m Matthew

Monarch Greenhouses opened its doors in the Garden State in October, 2020. My first job at 14 was working in a greenhouse in Spring Valley, NY. Caring for Koi ponds, parrots and monkeys who lived in the garden center’s greenhouse was my after school job. The Greenhouse, filled with waterfalls and arranged tropical plants, offered a peaceful oasis and to this day I love the atmosphere a greenhouse provides. Enjoying trips to botanical gardens, Victorian Estates and formal gardens inspired me to recreate a scaled version for our home. Now I enjoy my greenhouse in our backyard with my first build in 2020! A craftsman in Wales was my inspiration and helped me complete my first successful build by sharing his experience building over 100 bespoke greenhouse around the United Kingdom. **Photos below are inspirational antique Greenhouses and not my builds. Draw my inspiration from Victorian Gardens.
