When my father Horace founded Miracle-Gro in 1951, he couldn’t have envisioned how the consumer lawn and garden industry would grow into a leading outdoor leisure activity and a nearly $7 billion global business. That’s probably even more true for O.M. Scott, who started The Scotts Company in 1868. Neither could they have imagined the future success of this company. Today, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is the world’s leading lawn and garden company with trusted brands in every category in which we compete. With that success comes a big responsibility, which we embrace:

• A commitment to provide products, services and information that will help our consumers be successful - growing beautiful gardens, strong trees and healthy lawns.
• A true partnership with our retail customers - taking their lawn and garden departments to new heights and contributing to their overall profitability.
• A dedication to a beautiful world through innovation partnerships, resource conservation and environmental stewardship.
• A focus on achieving sustainable growth and profits that enhance shareholder value.

The ScottsMiracle-Gro associates worldwide are passionate about this business because, every day, they see the benefits of their work in the beauty that surrounds us. We believe there is no better business to be in - and there’s no better company than ScottsMiracle-Gro.
