About us

since 1917:

• Our nursery has been at Flugplatzstrasse 40 for almost 100 years.
• Alfred Maurer started out by growing lots of vegetables and a few flowers, which were sold at the Bern weekly market until around 1955.
• Over time, the focus shifted increasingly to flowers.
• Fritz Maurer, 2nd generation  , founded the "Berner Blumenbörse" with some other Bernese gardeners and thus laid the foundation for the commercial distribution of locally                        produced flowers and plants in  the Bern region. 
• The first two greenhouses were built in our nursery in 1958 two more were added later 
.
• Our flower store was opened in 1971 and has been run by Christine Maurer-Brosi ever since.
• 1990, shortly after Christine and Peter Maurer took over, the old "sären und couchen" were demolished and the new, modern 3-fold greenhouse with state-of-the-art technology, practical rolling tables and a bright workspace was built.
• In 2013, the company was transformed from a sole proprietorship into a public limited company, today's  "Blumen Maurer AG".

Today:

• The nursery is managed in the 3rd generation by Christine & Peter Maurer-Brosi  
.
• In the 4th generation, Andres Maurer supports the "boss" in the nursery as master gardener & sales manager & 
• Simone Mack-Maurer is currently completing a floristry apprenticeship at "Marianne Wyss - Naturgestaltung" in Zurich and actively supports the flower shop
