A note from Karl and Kathy Losely
Dear Customers and Friends,
All good things must come to an end and after 70+ years the nursery operations of Herman Losely and Son, Inc., are being sold and will no longer have a Losely family member at the helm.
Beginning December 30, 2021, Willowbend Nurseries LLC, which is part of the Petitti family of companies, will be the new owner of Losely Nursery. Willowbend Nurseries and their teams have many years of experience in the industry. I trust their teams and standards. As this transition is completed, rest assured the team of Losely Nursery will remain in place and the familiar faces you have come to recognize around the Nursery will still be there.
I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed our business relationship and appreciate the trust that you put in us and our company. I hope that you understand the seriousness with which I treated our relationship and the sincere effort I put into trying to make every transaction as easy as possible. Many of you are not just our customers but have become our friends and I will miss those relationships.
We wish you all continuing success.
Sincerely Yours,
Karl and Kathy Losely
The Losely team would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We will be closed the week between Christmas and New Year, starting Christmas Eve on December 24, 2021, and reopening on January 2, 2022. Enjoy your time with family and friends this holiday season.
