Palm City Nursery and Landscaping was founded in 1987 by Benito Bernal Sr. It is now owned and operated by him, his wife, Maria, and his son, Benito. We have the best team around, that we couldn’t do this without.
Early on, we chose Southwest Florida because the temperatures are consistently warm year round and the seasonal rain patterns are predictable. After years of saving and looking for the right opportunity to buy land on Pine Island, things began to fall into place.
Crucial to our success was starting out small. We started with a 1/2 acre of land and now operate over 70+ acres of farm land.
Our story looks something like this:
First, we cleared the land and then he put the well in. This was crucial in order to provide consistent irrigation for the palms. Next, Benito Bernal Sr. tilled the soil thoroughly to make sure it was as pure as it could be before planting. Finally the ditches and beds were dug, formed and became ready for planting.
Trees were sold, more were planted. The cycle repeated itself year after year. My family is grateful for my dad’s drive, determination and ambition. His happy customers are now our family’s happy and loyal customers.
Originally, we started selling our high quality palms in the local communities of Pine Island and Cape Coral. Now our service area has expanded over the bridge to Fort Myers, as far North as Port Charlotte, and as far South as Naples.
Today, we are able to serve more of Southwest Florida each year. We look forward to serving you!
