Planting Corporate Gardens: How ScottsMiracle-Gro Associates Are Spreading Their Love for Gardening

We first started encouraging associates to garden on company property at our Marysville, Ohio world headquarters in 1943 in support of the World War II Victory Garden movement. During that time, Americans were encouraged to grow their own food supply, and we offered associates land on which to grow edible gardens. Flash forward 75 years.
