Fifth Season Gardening Company may be a new name for us, but we have been in business in North Carolina for over six years, first opening in 2000 as Asheville Agricultural Systems in Asheville and then as Carolina Hydrogardens in Durham and Greensboro. Despite our new name and multiple locations, we are a small family business with twenty year roots in North Carolina, and we pride ourselves on our history of excellent customer service and commitment to the varied needs of hydroponic and organic growers.

Ever since our humble beginnings we have grown and learned from our successes and mistakes. Our diverse clientele includes hydroponic hobbyists, organic farmers, orchid growers, agriculture professionals, two national universities, and even gardeners who set state fair records for pumpkins and watermelons!

Learning from and with these customers, we feel that we provide the vital element not found at many other gardening stores today: knowledge. Whether you have questions about OMRI certification, simple hydroponic systems, lighting plans, container gardening, or the best way to attract bats, we are dedicated to trouble shooting problems and answering questions about your plants and grow systems.

At Fifth Season Gardening Company, we feel as though we can make a difference in our community, state and nation by educating people on the practices of organic and hydroponic agriculture. Organic and hydroponic gardening can reduce water usage, increase yields, reduce pest and disease problems, replenish dead soil and increase microbial life, thereby stimulating long-term and sustainable plant production. We have always felt that by sharing and passing along our knowledge, we will leave the world better than we found it.
