Preferred Gardens at our Queens shops.

What Preferred Gardens means at the Terp Bros counter.

Preferred Gardens is the flower brand on our wall for Queens shoppers who care about strain depth more than name recognition. The brand is family-owned, founded by David Polley in 2015 with cultivation experience dating back to 2005, and the calling card is the proprietary strain library — 260+ in-house cultivars that the operation has built up over years of breeding work. That depth shows up in the case as variety: when Preferred Gardens lands fresh stock, you're often looking at strains you won't find under most other brand names. Both Astoria and Ozone Park carry the line, with indoor and mixed-light flower making up the headline drops, plus pre-rolls and concentrates rotating in. The brand holds licenses in California, Florida, and New York, which means the NY-shelf inventory is produced specifically for our market and has cleared the state's lab testing requirements. For Queens shoppers building a personal terpene preference — heavy gas, citrus, floral, dessert — the breadth of the Preferred Gardens library is one of the better starting points on our wall.
