Park Seed Company distributes millions of catalogs every year and maintains an online retail presence.

In 1918, Park married Carol Mary Barratt, a young county home demonstration agent from South Carolina.

Then in 1950, they made a move to a more modern storefront location and entered the era of environmental control for seed quality.

Wayside Gardens, an Ohio company founded in 1920, was acquired by Park Seed in 1975 and was moved to South Carolina.

[2] The Park family ran the company until 2005, when it was sold to Florida real estate executive Donald Hachenberger.

The company has been bought and sold since and is now a division of Jackson & Perkins Park Acquisitions, which is a subsidiary of publicly traded Western Capital Resources.
