Started by brothers David and Jack Curtright, they were one of the first companies to focus on plants for ponds and aquariums. While Jack turned to focus on aquarium fish, David and his wife Jeanne have grown FFF to one of the largest aquatic plant nurseries in Southern California. With a push into mail-order and internet sales, FFF has become one of the top aquatic nurseries in the nation. A true family business, you can be sure that your order is handled with care by David, Jeanne, or their daughter, Genevieve.

David Curtright has been an expert on aquatic plants, an avid propagator and an active aquatic botanist for over 30 years. He has comprehensive knowledge in all aspects of water gardening, plant propagation, pond construction and pond care. David has presided as President of The Southern California Water Garden Society for the past several years and is a member of the International Water Garden Society (IWGS) and Southern California Tropical Fish Society.
