ScottsMiracle-Gro

As one of America’s most trusted companies––one deeply rooted for generations in a sense of family–– we embrace our responsibility to create a better life for our associates and our consumers. We recognize our role in protecting the planet. And we see the importance of investing in tomorrow’s leaders, especially those who live in communities too often left behind. We do these things because, at our core, we believe that good can grow anywhere.

That’s why we’ve developed wellness programs that put the needs of our associates above the bottom line, why we strive to introduce 10 million kids to gardening within five years, why we’ve redesigned our products and application devices to work in concert with the environment and why we’ve committed to positively impacting the communities where we operate.

Our job is just beginning. Yes, we believe that good can grow anywhere. But at ScottsMiracle-Gro, we are committed to a world in which we GroMoreGood.

Our story begins

It was 1868 when Civil War veteran Orlando McLean Scott opened a hardware store in his hometown, Marysville, Ohio. He soon started selling weed-free seed to local farmers, and after refining his breeding abilities, he expanded to selling seed to homeowners after the turn of the century. It was the first time anyone developed and sold seeds for consumer markets. His dedication to quality and innovation took root, and more than 150 years later, our company has blossomed into North America’s leader in lawn, garden and hydroponics. We still operate a storefront in Marysville today. It represents our roots, literally and metaphorically, and just being there reminds us of who we are. Our heritage is unique, and it motivates us to always do what’s best––for today’s gardeners and the ones who come tomorrow.
