Costa Farms Expands Customer ReachSource: Garden Media Group

Costa Farms is expanding its customer reach and opening new markets for their interior foliage business with the acquisition of Bernecker’s Nursery, a leading interior tropical plant grower in Homestead, Florida.

Costa Farms obtained rights to the Bernecker’s name and certain business assets and will continue to service its existing customer base of independent garden centers and interiorscapers who cater to “green” buildings, offices and businesses.

Additionally, Costa Farms will maintain production at Bernecker’s locations in south Florida of interior tropical plants.

“Bernecker’s exceptional reputation with top IGCs and interiorscapers is a natural fit for us,” says Jose Smith, president and chief executive officer of Costa Farms. Smith ensured a seamless transition for all Bernecker’s customers and a smooth changeover for its employees.
