History
The company was established by Peter and Peggy Rice and Michael Burns in 1980. It launched its first catalog in 1982. In 1998, they sold a majority interest in the company to 1-800-FLOWERS, and the company became a wholly owned subsidiary. The company continues to operate independently out of Madison, Virginia, with additional warehouse facilities in Vandalia, Ohio.
In May 2016, Plow & Hearth acquired the children's catalog company Children's Wear Digest Inc. CWD Kids was founded in 1987 in Richmond, VA. The business grew out of a chain of children's clothing stores called Small People, founded in 1979, which evolved from the Richmond Dry Goods Co., founded in 1911.
