J. Berry Nursery Celebrates 10 Years With New Line
Jennifer Polanz
The J. Berry Nursery, started by father-son team of Jim and Jonathan Berry, started 10 years ago with 10 employees on a site that had been a production nursery since the 1960s. Today the company has 110 employees and has developed into an operation known for its plant breeding, marketing and distribution. The three deepest lines include the Black Diamond Crapemyrtles, Deja Bloom Azaleas and the Hollywood Hibiscus collection of patio and landscape tropical plants.
The nursery is announcing a new line for 2016, too, called Deckorations, which will feature container-friendly shrubs presented in upscale patio planters. In honor of their milestone anniversary, J. Berry will also make a donation to the Horticultural Research Institute (HRI).
“Having served HRI as a Board Member and Past President, I understand how important HRI is in so many ways,” says Jim Berry. “I appreciate all the good they have done and am proud to now, as so many industry leaders have, contribute.”
