PROFILE |
 |
Upscale home and garden retailer Smith & Hawken hopes to blossom now that it's been repotted. The company operates more than 40 stores offering specialty garden tools, furniture, workwear, housewares, plants, bulbs, containers, and books. It also sells products through catalogs and its Web site. Dave Smith and Paul Hawken founded Smith & Hawken in 1979 to import British garden tools. CML Group bought the company in 1993 and, after declaring bankruptcy, sold its profitable subsidiary to DDJ Capital Management and the Wisconsin Investment Board in 1999. The new owners pruned catalog circulation and clothing offerings, and have stepped up new store openings.
