Why Smith's Farms? 🌿Folks sometimes ask why our large sign on the storefront says "Smith's Farms" instead of "Smith's Gardentown." Well, first, because Gardentown was just too long. But the real reason is that our founder, Curtis Smith, wanted to emphasize that most of our plants are grown right here. He wanted to call the company "Smith's Gardentown Farms" He originally purchased the property on Seymour Highway in the 1970s, while the retail store was on Kemp Street. We began growing bedding plants, perennials and poinsettias out here and trucking them in to the retail store in town. But the plan all along was to consolidate the growing operation with the retail store, which we did in 2000.The Smith's Gardentown Farms name got a little unwieldy, so our official name is now Smith's Gardentown. But we keep the "FARMS" sign to remind everyone that this is the place where most of our plants get their start. So if you want bedding plants that are already acclimated to Texoma, and if you want the best quality, this is the place! 🌱















That's actually wild.
