[RP TownTalk] Behnke's Nursery to close in June 2019

[Sarah Wayland]

I was so sad to read this on Facebook this morning. We've been going to
Behnke's Nursery since we moved to Maryland in 1993. Hard to imagine a
world without them.

As I look out over the garden center, it seems like a Spring season like
all the others through our 89 year history. I see a nursery full of
beautiful plants and fine staff, some of whom have worked here most their
lives, and I'm so proud to be a part of this wonderful organization.

But with great sadness, I must tell you that this 2019 Spring season will
be our last. My family has been discussing what to do with our aging
property and, for many reasons, the ultimate decision was to close the
nursery.

The Behnke family and I would like to thank our wonderful customers. For
three generations, our family has served your family. Many of you came here
as children with your parents or grandparents. Others are new-found
friends. Through the dedication of thousands of amazing employees over the
years, we've helped make your gardening dreams a reality. In the process,
it made us one of the largest and most well-known garden centers in the
country.

For this Spring, we're open and ready with everything you need for your
home and garden. We hope to see all of you over the next few months and to
help you find that perfect plant, so in the future you'll remember the role
we played in your gardening journey. Beginning today, April 4th, our entire
store will be on sale. Our Closing Sale will continue until sometime in
June when we will sadly close our gates for the last time.
