Small Business
of the Year
We are deeply honored to be named the 2025 Small Business of the Year by the Greater East Pasco Chamber of Commerce. From the beginning, Handcart Garden Center has been rooted in community, growth, and a passion for bringing beauty to homes and businesses across Pasco County.
This recognition reminds us that none of this is possible without the support of our amazing friends, neighbors, and customers. As we celebrate, we reflect on Micah 6:8: “The LORD has told you what is good: to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” May this honor inspire us to continue serving with humility, compassion, and integrity. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helps Pasco County grow together. We are grateful, humbled, and excited for what’s ahead.
