WELCOME TO RUFTY'S GARDEN SHOP

OUR STORY

Rufty’s Garden Shop was founded in Salisbury, North Carolina in 1957.

For decades, the Rufty family took pride in offering top-of-the-line customer service, meticulously grown plants, and an unmatched horticulture experience in their local garden shop. 

Salisbury-native, Charlie Smith, grew up with a green thumb and an interest in the small town's staple. He went off to use his passion for nature and design by becoming a Horticulturist and Landscape Designer. After working in Rhododedron nurseries and beginning his own Landscape Design firm, he returned to his roots and began working for the Ruftys. 

​

Over 20 years ago, Charlie acquired Rufty's Garden Shop and made it his mission to continue the namesake’s legacy.

​

Now, Rufty’s remains the one-stop-shop for all planting needs. Charlie brings years of experience and expertise, along with fun laughs, as he guides you through all four seasons of gardening. Anywhere from designing a new landscape plan, refreshing your front porch, or decking your halls, the Rufty’s team provides all the supplies and advice for you to make your dreams a reality!
