Founded in 1996, Garden Supply Company began as a design and landscape firm named Environmental Design and Management, owned and operated by Keith and Deborah Ramsey. Environmental Design and Management employed three people to design and install small residential landscapes and maintain commercial properties. It operated for one and one-half years before Keith and Deborah had the opportunity to purchase what is currently Garden Supply Company.

In the spring of 1997, what was formally Zone 7 was purchased with six acres, one building, a shed and a small amount of inventory. Today, Garden Supply Company has grown into a business employing 40 plus team members. It is currently recognized by its national peers as a rising retail star. This rise to success is due to a clear vision, surrounding themselves with a top-notch professional staff and a love for our craft. Keith and Deborah continue to endeavor to grow this company and their staff to their fullest potential while maintaining top-quality customer satisfaction and a positive influence in the community.

1967. That's the year Homewood's founder, Bill Stoffregen, first built a 19' x 100' greenhouse in his backyard at my family's home located at 4700 Six Forks Road in 1967. As Raleigh mushroomed, Homewood grew beyond being just greenhouses (currently over 85,000 sq.ft), adding a 1 acre nursery area under the pine trees, a unique atrium for the garden center, and a gift and floral shop. Landvision Designs was also invited to join us adding a full service landscape company to our site. Always, as we built and added to Homewood, Bill reminded us that this was also his home and that we "better keep it pretty" since it is still his backyard. That feeling of home and appreciation of beauty is what we all experience here today. Forty-three years of being rooted in Raleigh, a foundation from which will come many more years of growing relationships with our customers and sharing our passion for plants.

Homewood is recognized as a leader in the horticulture industry and has been featured in local, state, and national publications. Homewood's unique combination of over 4 acres of greenhouses, garden center, and outdoor nursery department and the high quality of service and plants are what keep Homewood on top. As one industry expert put it, Homewood "is a classic family retailer/grower/garden center." The greenhouses and nursery area are regularly toured by university horticulture classes and has been a learning ground for many students.
