Bernard Izzo Sr, a native Westporter, learned landscaping from his father and began his own business in 1962. When his son arrived in 1966 he renamed the business Izzo & Son Country Gardens and found a retail location on the Post Road.
For over 50 years Bernie has hand-picked the largest selection of quality annuals, perennials and hanging baskets in the entire county.
Izzo’s selects products locally and from 17 states and Canada on a regular basis to fill the greenhouses.
His son, Bernard, Jr., owns Bernard Izzo, Jr. Landscaoping in Southport. He does custom landscape design, installation, and property management.
