NEW YORK, NEW YORK (January 31, 2007) Griffin Land & Nurseries, Inc. (Nasdaq: GRIF) (“Griffin”) announced today that its board of directors has authorized a program to repurchase up to 150,000 shares of its outstanding common stock. Stock may be purchased only through private transactions from time to time over the next twelve months, dependent upon market and other conditions, however, the stock repurchase will not commence until Griffin’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 2, 2006 is filed. “Griffin’s management is confident in the strength of its operations, particularly its real estate division,” said Frederick M. Danziger, Griffin’s president and chief executive officer. “We are committed to invest in our long-term growth and enhance shareholder value. Our Company has a strong balance sheet and solid cash flows, and the management team and the board of directors believe this stock buy-back represents a good use of Griffin’s funds while demonstrating Griffin’s commitment to deliver long-term shareholder value.” The plan does not obligate Griffin to repurchase any specific number of shares and may be suspended at any time at management’s discretion. Griffin currently has 5,132,663 shares of common stock outstanding.

Griffin operates a Connecticut and Massachusetts based real estate business through its Griffin Land division and a landscape nursery business through its subsidiary, Imperial Nurseries, Inc.
