A Note from the Berns Family Spring 2026 | Berns' 70th Anniversary
Share
It is hard to believe there are only a few days left in May. While there are still three weeks of spring left on the calendar — and June is a wonderful time to plant (I do all my planting in June) — this feels like the right moment to pause, look back, and say thank you.
Because this wasn't just any spring. This was our 70th Anniversary.
Seventy years of plants. Seventy spring seasons. Seventy years of helping people bring something living and beautiful into their homes, their yards, and their lives. That's not something we take lightly.
Thank You to Our Amazing Team
First, I want to say thank you to this incredible team — the people who showed up every day this spring and made the 2026 season something truly special. You worked hard, you cared deeply, and together we accomplished things I'm genuinely proud of. Every plant placed, every question answered, every customer helped — that was you. Thank you.
Thank You to All Those Who Came Before Us
Seventy years is a long time, and what we are today was built on the work of everyone who came before us. To the team members, family, and community who shaped Berns across the decades — whether you were with us for one month or forty years — we are standing on the shoulders of those who came before us, and we're grateful. The foundation you built made everything we do today possible.
Thank You to Our Customers
Whether you're a longtime loyal customer who remembers shopping with us on Yankee Road, or whether this spring was your very first time visiting — we're so glad you're here. Our purpose, the reason we do what we do, is to bring plants into people's lives. And every time you choose us, you give us the opportunity to fulfill that purpose. We don't take that trust for granted.
It's our honor to serve this community, and we look forward to growing alongside you for many more seasons to come.
Kind Regards,
Keith Berns

My favorite location to buy special plants for my little outdoor glower business. 🌸
I always enjoy shopping for your healthy plants!
Jeff Berns designed our new home landscape. We have been extremely happy with our design, plants and most of all customer service. I would recommend him to anyone.
Was introduced to Berns in the early 2000’s when my children attended Fenwick High School with several Berns relatives. When we eventually needed work done at our home (very large landscaping project during COVID in 2020), I didn’t hesitate to contact Berns for an estimate and design. What they came up with far and away exceeded our expectations. We love the end product and have continued to purchase our plants and gardening supplies from Berns since 2020. Thank Berns and we will continue to use and recommend you!!
Thank you all so much for the wonderful notes. I will be sure and share these with our team. It means so much for them.
Ruth Ann – Thank you so much for sharing. We are truly honored to have been part of your life since childhood. Wishing many more special days making memories in the garden center with your daughters.
