CONGRATULATIONS TO HUBER AWARD WINNER

Tyler Cerbo, Cerbo’s Parsippany Greenhouses

Tyler Cerbo grew up in Sussex County, NJ about a half mile from his
family’s farm. He attended Muhlenberg College, where he was a captain
of their nationally ranked football team, graduating in 2015 with a degree in
Business Marketing. Tyler then moved to Morristown to focus on operating
the family’s Garden Center in Parsippany, the fourth generation of the
family to do so.

The family business was founded in 1913 by Antonio Cerbo I at the
Parsippany location which was at that time a 26 acre farm and is now the
oldest business in Parsippany, celebrating their 109th year. Today, the
business comprises three locations in North Jersey: the Retail/Wholesale
garden center in Parsippany (Original location), a Wholesale/retail yard in Hampton Township and
their Tree Farm (north Jersey’s largest) in Branchville.

Three years ago, Tyler got involved with Trees for Troops, a national 501(c)3 that orchestrates the
donation of Christmas trees to military families across the nation and abroad. They partner with
local tree growers and retailers across the country to get trees donated and distributed. In their first
year of involvement, Cerbo's donated 115 trees, the second year 300 trees and in 2020 over 500
trees were donated with addition financial contributions equaling over 700 trees. The Cerbo family
and the community who supports their efforts is now one of the largest single location contributors in
the country for the program.

In addition to being an active Chamber member, Tyler sits on board of advisors to the Muhlenberg
College 100 Club, an organization that focuses on generating revenue and managing donations for
the football program. He volunteers at Back on Track Agency , a program focused on 1 on 1
mentoring with children and young adults from under-served backgrounds funneling toward the
outlet of athletics.
