Bell Nursery Buys Ulery Greenhouse

Bell Nursery, based in Burtonsville, Md., announced that it has acquired Ulery Greenhouse Company in Springfield, Ohio. This marks an expansion for Bell Nursery, which currently supplies plants to Home Depot and others in the Mid-Atlantic region. Now Bell will be able to supply plants to retailers in the Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, Ohio area.

“The Bell business model is well suited to an acquisition of a company like Ulery which is a well established and respected business in Central Ohio,” says Gary Mangum of Bell Nursery. “The Ulery physical plant as well as their strong employee base offers a great platform for business expansion. Quality is extremely important, and the Ulery name and heritage is associated with quality production.”

“Our merchandising team is excited about bringing a new level of service and a new look to each of the stores in our markets,” said Michele Donovan, director of merchandising for Ulery Greenhouse Company.  “The Bell model and resources will be a huge win for our customers that I believe will bring our garden centers to the top in service, quality innovation, and value.”
