BLOG | Why The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation is Growing More Than Gardens
“Every day, the babies in our community are having adult experiences.”

I’ll never forget listening to a community gardener talk about the challenges facing young children in his east-side neighborhood. Violence, drugs, poverty, absent parents, hunger. It was heartbreaking. The conversation started when another community garden leader explained that a portion of our ScottsMiracle-Gro grant was used to purchase pairs of cheap, plastic flip flops.

Why? I asked.
