Welcome to Kerns Nursery
On a quiet back road in the tiny town of Jewett, located between the towns of Windham and Hunter, you will find an extraordinary place called Kerns Nursery. For anyone who is an avid gardener, or just someone who just appreciates the beauty of flowers, a stop at this nursery will surprise you and will keep you coming back for more.
As we enter 2011, our 24th year operating Kerns Nursery and our 29th year as landscape designers and installers, we would like to first send appreciation to all our good customers whom have supported us over the years. In a mass-market world is it heartwarming when people appreciate a relatively small, local business. We, like almost everyone else, have had to deal with the difficult economy, but we are trying our best to keep our prices no higher than last year. And we are so fortunate to have an incredible and dedicated staff; without whom it would hard to exist as a viable business. Many of these special people have been with us for a long time and represent the best there is about Kerns Nursery! Anyway here are some new experiences and inventory we presented in 2011:
A clear nursery map to help you find the plant or the plant area of all our nursery perennials and annuals
Our innovative rustic wall planters filled with gorgeous plant material
A revived greens planting system to keep you in cutting salad mixes, for the season
Early herb plants ready for indoor or protected outdoor culture – also in special gift caddies
Our three color Cherry tomato planters
Large blooming morning glory trellises
Newly designed outdoor shop
Great selection of new pottery and coco lined baskets and planters
New lines of gifts in our shop, including beautiful vases, Crabtree and Eveland gift and hand care products, and other personal items along with other home and garden decor
New “for the birds” area,
We will also try to accommodate garden tours and school groups with pre arranged scheduling
Wedding site – yes we now host limited wedding ceremonies in our gardens. Remember Kerns is a full service wedding and other event florist
New jewelry designs

Kerns Nursery
The Nursery started in 1987, but the Kerns’ have been involved in landscaping for over 30 years. Pat says “When we started the nursery we were so small it was ridiculously funny, and being off the main roads didn't’t help, but as word of mouth spread our business has continually gotten bigger and bigger.
We now have a large and very unique nursery, where the environment you shop in is like a well cared for garden – not a supermarket. More than that, we are a nursery for gardeners because the plant selection we offer makes it worth coming from a good distance away.
Prior to owning a nursery, I would have traveled to a place like this myself. We have regular customers from places like Albany, Cooperstown, Rhinebeck and Woodstock. Many second home owners buy not only for their Mt. Top house, but bring plants to their main residence down state New York as well as New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania not to mention many summer tourists that pass by every year or so from all over the country.
It’s very inviting here. Beyond the typical expectations you normally find while plant shopping, here you’ll find the pleasant environment captivating and the help attentive and knowledgeable.
