Life and work
Paul Allen Smith was born and raised in Morrison, Tennessee . He is a descendant of people who are careful about the earth and all living things. In 2009, he became the founder of the organization (Heritage Poultry Conservancy), which supports and preserves endangered poultry breeds.
Studying at Hendricks College, Smith got the opportunity to study the history and design of the garden at the famous University of Manchester.
Upon returning to the United States, he organized a small business with his brother, aimed at reviving interest in perennials. He was not afraid of work and loved it, so he did not refuse a single offer. So he became a tour guide and gardening teacher, which led him for the first time to television.
Homes
Located in the historic Quapaw quarter of Arkansas , the hotel is a Renaissance colonial cottage. It is surrounded by a series of gardens designed according to Smith. Paul Allen Smith, having received permission from the local historical commission, bought and moved the house to a desert area of 1,400 m2 in order to illustrate his 12 design principles, which formed the basis of his first book in the Garden Home series.
Smith also set up Moss Mountain Farm, also known as The Retreat, located on the banks of the Arkansas River. It includes more than 500 acres of farm, where the center is a cottage, built in the Greek style. Behind the cottage is a croquet field, framed by a summer kitchen and an art studio. There is a fountain in the garden, dividing it into two sectors. In one, there are numerous mixtures of annual and perennial grasses, roses, shrubs and ornamental plants. On the other side are orchards with apple trees, blueberries and other fruit trees. And every spring in this garden you can see more than 275,000 flowering daffodils. There are also various outbuildings and pastures.
