Planting the Initial Seed for
Four Star Greenhouse – 1977

Four Star Greenhouse began as Smith’s Greenhouse in 1977 when Tom Smith started growing plants in Carleton, Michigan, and focused mostly on finished crops of bedding plants from seed sold at markets. In 1982, Smith started producing starter plants or “plugs” to sell to growers. Four Star’s growing operations grew from the initial 60,000 square feet to approximately 140,000 square feet (now the Indian Trail Road facility), with Tom and Sharon Smith becoming the founders and respective president and vice president of the new company, Four Star Greenhouse Inc.

The Continuation of
Four Star’s Growth

Today, Four Star Greenhouse has over 20 acres of indoor growing area and four additional acres of outdoor growing space at the Carleton, Michigan headquarters. Three recent greenhouse growing areas have been added for expanded production of annuals, perennials, and shrubs. The award-winning display gardens are open to the public and industry professionals in summer months.
