Gardener's Supply Company USA to Stock VegTrug
VegTrug are delighted to announce a new business relationship with Gardeners’ Supply Company which will commence in Spring 2012. Gardeners’ Supply are the largest Mail Order Garden Supply Catalogue in the USA.
The business was founded in 1983 by a handful of enthusiastic Vermont gardeners. Today, they serve millions of gardeners nationwide, offering everything from seed starting supplies and garden furniture to flower supports and garden carts. Though they have grown, they remain passionately committed to providing garden-tested, earth-friendly products that will help customers have more fun and success in their gardens.
Headquartered in Burlington, Vermont, you can check out their store or stroll through their 3 acre display garden.
Gardener's Supply actively promotes gardening as an important way for people to make the world a better place, donating some 8% of their pre-tax profits to support programs and organizations that are using gardening to improve the quality of people's lives and the health of our environment. Gardener’s Supply also provides gifts to a number of non-profit organizations working on gardening, sustainable agriculture, the environment and hunger-related causes. Recipients include the American Community Gardening Association, the American Horticulture Therapy Association, and Plant a Row for the Hungry.
In Vermont, the company's local donations program helps support more than 50 community organizations. We also founded, and continue to be a lead sponsor for the Intervale Center, which oversees 350 acres of farmland and a wide range of urban farming initiatives in Burlington, Vt.
Joe Denham, International Director for VegTrug commented, “we have been speaking to Gardeners’ Supply for 2 years now and they have been a prime target customer for the distribution of VegTrug in the USA. The VegTrug has been on long term test with the company in America and we are delighted that they have decided to promote our product range in 2012.
This agreement represents a true landmark for VegTrug. I am sure that Gardeners’ Supply will grow to be one of our largest customers world-wide and without doubt, will launch the VegTrug brand in the USA bringing our products to millions of customers. Gardener’s Supply have an excellent environmental ethic and like us, have a vision for the future and the way people will grow their own food and develop gardening for education, healing and lifestyle improvement.”
Cindy Goodenow, Merchandise Manager for Gardeners’ Supply is equally enthusiastic about the VegTrug prospects in the USA. “We are extremely excited about the launch of VegTrug in our catalogue this coming Spring. We have worked with Paul and Joe almost from the inception of their business and are pleased to say that we are part of the VegTrug story. We have tested several VegTrug models and sizes and have been impressed with the quality, durability and value for money that the VegTrug gives our customers.
When VegTrug introduced the Medium sized product for 2012, we knew that this was a product that would sell extremely well in our market. The VegTrug ‘package’ with the range of accessories, iPhone App and consumer website with growing instructions is truly innovative and we are looking forward to working with Joe and Paul in 2012 and beyond.”
