Berg’s Nursery was established in 1979 by owners Randy and Deb Berg. The business started small – the couple did not have a store front, only a borrowed shovel and a 5 gallon bucket. After getting their feet wet, Randy and Deb decided they wanted to give the little landscape business a go and found a small wooden building on First Avenue that they could rent. After renting the building, Randy wanted to put up a fence around it to protect what little product they had from theft. The landlord however, would not allow that, telling Berg that he would not be there for long.
