Business Details
Sarasota's Trusted Garden Center Since 1970
Your Farm and Garden began as a passion project rooted in the Hibbs family's love for gardening. This dedication evolved into a trusted resource for gardeners and farmers seeking quality plants and personalized service. In a strategic transition, the business was acquired by Robert Albritton, a descendant of Florida's pioneering Albritton Fruit Company founders, ensuring its continued family-owned legacy. Our team remains committed to delivering expert guidance, unique plant selections, and time-tested horticultural solutions tailored to local landscapes.With decades of combined experience, we blend traditional values with modern gardening expertise to address both common and specialized landscaping challenges. Our mission remains unchanged: to provide Sarasota residents with exceptional products, knowledgeable staff, and the personalized attention that distinguishes us from big-box retailers. As we look toward the future, we remain dedicated to nurturing both plants and community relationships through our Sarasota-based operations.

We stopped in for the first time and were happy we did. Even though they were getting ready to close no one ever pressured us to head towards the door. All the vegetable and herb plants were in great shape. There is a great variety of other plants, trees and other gardening items for both indoor and outdoor gardening. At the register the cashier gave suggestions for the different types for in ground and container planting. This was great advice. We will definitely be making many more return visits.

Ive been visiting this store for about 4 years because it has affordable houseplants but about a year and half ago those same plants have slipped out of my price range. Its just such a bummer this place has gotten too expensive.

Called ahead asking availability of specific plant. Provided common and Latin name. Was told they had in stock and was quoted a price. Told them I would be on my way to pick them up. Arrived and not only did they fail tove them (had not seen them in 12 years), but everyone acted like they had not said they had them. Will never return.
