Best garden center in Brooklyn?

I’m new to Brooklyn and am looking for the best garden center. I have a small front yard that is a blank slate, and I would like to add native perennials, mulch or pebbles, and pavers to it. Can anyone suggest the best place to purchase garden supplies?

Mike, thanks for answering. By “best” I mean somewhere with a good reputation and good prices. I try to support local businesses, although if all else fails I will go to a big box store.

I think your definition of best would probably differ from mine. But in my case, if I wanted to buy what you’re looking for I would just go to my local home improvement store Lowes or Home Depot. Normally they have what you listed above and they also tend to have a well sized gardening / patio (paver) section. Most of their pavers are made from concrete, if you’re interested in natural stone I would advise a different retailer.
