The Scene
Smithfield Gardens' motto is Beauty is our business. Lush garden pathways may lead to a partially secluded, yet vibrantly blossoming alcove, an old-fashioned gazebo or a burbling miniature waterfall. Drawing customers from around the state and beyond who want to lose themselves in nature's beauty, this Hampton Roads landmark specializes in the rare and unusual.
The Goods

The annual and perennial department will surprise even the most experienced gardener. Tour the display gardens for sheer inspiration. And beyond the greenery and blooms lies a score of unique products and wonderful, if unusual, finds, such as gazing globes, cutting boards, antique Mediterranean olive jars and oriental pagodas.
