Executive Summary

Available for the first time in more than 65 years, historic Marano Gardens presents a rare opportunity to own one of Montgomery County's most recognizable family-owned horticultural properties. Situated on approximately 3.19 acres along highly visible Bethlehem Pike, the property features multiple greenhouses, retail and display areas, storage buildings, parking, and residential improvements that have supported the long-standing garden center operation for decades.
Bordered by Sandy Run and directly adjoining Fort Washington State Park, the property offers a truly unique setting that combines exceptional visibility and accessibility with the beauty of protected open space. Conveniently located near Route 309, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, Ambler, Blue Bell, and surrounding affluent communities, the location provides outstanding access throughout the region.
The property's established reputation and existing infrastructure create exceptional opportunities for continued garden center operations, landscape contractors, greenhouse or nursery businesses, outdoor living retailers, investors, and other owner-users. Marano Gardens is offered for sale while continuing operations, with future development or redevelopment potential that may exist subject to zoning and municipal approvals.
