ROOTED HERE. GROWING TOGETHER.
A family farm.
A Knoxville story.
The plants may change with the seasons. Our commitment to this place—and to the people who call it home—has deep roots.
FROM MARKET SQUARE TO DAVENPORT ROAD
A tradition that
keeps on growing.
Our Davenport forebears farmed this South Knoxville land in the early 1800s. Later generations brought produce and cut flowers to Knoxville’s Market Square.
In 1955, Charles and Mary Kathryn Stanley built the first greenhouse here. The farm’s focus turned toward horticulture, and Stanley’s Greenhouse began.
Today, our family continues that work with a growing team, knowledgeable plant specialists, and the personal service our founders taught us. Through every season, we’re proud to help our neighbors grow.
