The owners today
Ryan and Ed are growing it forward.
Local colleagues, friends, and green thumbs, Ryan and Ed were longtime fans of the nursery long before they owned it. When word got out the land it sat on might become another block of condos, they couldn't watch it go.
So they didn't just save it — they set out to grow it into everything the community had been asking for. Today, Ryan, Ed, and their families lead SmartyPlants into its next chapter.

Where it began
It started as Amelia's Smarty Plants.
Fifteen years ago, partners in life and in business, Paul and Marta opened a little nursery in Lake Worth. It grew — no pun intended — into a neighborhood fixture, known to everyone around here as Amelia's Smarty Plants.
People didn't just shop there. They lingered, asked questions, and kept coming back. That's the foundation everything new is built on.

Known by name
“Amelia's Smarty Plants — the place you sent a friend who'd just bought a house.”
The next chapter
Bigger — because you asked for it.
Every one of these came from something we heard at the register. You asked. We're building it.
