Smitty’s Garden Center

01/17/2026

This time of year, we’re sharing posts about planting, prepping the greenhouses, and dreaming about the season ahead. We’d be talking about fresh potting soil, warm days to come, and all the things that grow when spring is just around the corner.

This year is different.

Smitty’s Garden Center will not be opening for another season. This announcement comes with heavy hearts. This place has been more than a business, it’s been a piece of our family, our community, and so many memories made alongside all of you over the past years.

We are deeply grateful for every customer who walked through our doors, every kind word, every plant taken home, and every season you chose to support us. Watching families return year after year, seeing gardens grow, and being part of your traditions has meant more to us than we can ever put into words.

THANK YOU for growing with us, supporting us, and loving Smitty’s the way you did. We will always carry these seasons and this COMMUNITY — with us in our next chapter.🌱

“Seasons rest so new ones can begin.”

— Smitty and Family 💚

As another season comes to a close Saturday, October 18th, we’re reminded that every garden needs time to rest before it blooms 🌸 again.

Our small business has been apart of Robinson for over 30+ years and we have taken extreme pride as a new generation of owners. While our future is uncertain as we explore new ownership, our hearts are set on a 5th season next spring. 💚

We believe the best chapters are still ahead—for us, for this small business and for the community that has always lifted us up. THANK YOU for standing with us, and for HELPING us GROW 🌱 year after year.

Please take sometime Saturday, October 18th to come see us and exchange a houseplant, seeds, bulbs and cuttings or just to say hi! 😊

Here’s to ROOTS that hold STRONG and new BLOOMS yet to come. 🌿✨
