We are pleased to announce an exciting development in the Petitti Family of Farms as we expand our reach and offerings with the acquisition of Klyn Nurseries (Klyn) with an anticipated closing on or around March 28, 2024. As of March 4, 2024, Petitti Family of Farms has taken over full operations of Klyn. Founded in 1921 and located in Perry, Ohio, Klyn Nurseries has been a cornerstone of the horticultural industry, earning a reputation of expertise and boasting a collection of over 1,200 plant varieties on over 700 acres.

Renowned for its specialization in unique and hard-to-find plant material, as well as its comprehensive selection of perennials, natives and grasses, Klyn Nurseries aligns seamlessly with our commitment to innovation and growth. The addition of Klyn Nurseries’ diverse collection of natives and perennials significantly bolsters our portfolio and addresses a growing demand from customers. This expansion not only strengthens our product base but also aligns with market trends, as there has been an increasing interest in these categories among our clientele. By incorporating Klyn Nurseries’ expertise in natives and perennials, we are poised to better meet the evolving needs of our customers while solidifying our position as a leading provider in the industry.

This acquisition not only strengthens our position in the landscape supplier market but also solidifies our presence in key regions, particularly Ohio, Pennsylvania, and neighboring markets. The combined footprint of the Petitti Family of Farms and Klyn Nurseries will encompass approximately 4,000 acres in Lake County, Ohio. Notably, all of our facilities are strategically located within 10 miles of each other, facilitating seamless coordination and operational efficiency. This geographical proximity further enhances our ability to serve you effectively and efficiently, ensuring prompt delivery and superior service across our expanded network.

We are eager to share our strategic plans for integrating Klyn Nurseries into the Petitti Family of Farms in the coming months. As part of our commitment to transparency and partnership, we invite you to visit the nursery soon to witness firsthand the investments we’ve made to ensure a prosperous future for our combined company.

Customers can anticipate a seamless transition, with all ordering and shipping processes remaining unchanged for spring 2024. During this period, our focus will be on establishing long-term transition plans to efficiently integrate both personnel and systems.

Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your designated sales representative at either Klyn Nurseries or Petitti Family of Farms. Your satisfaction and continued partnership are paramount to us, and we are committed to delivering exceptional service and product quality.
