Our new O.M. Scott & Sons lawn care brand exemplifies our continual focus on improving sustainability through packaging and reaching a new consumer by offering natural ingredients.
The simple-to-use product line is offered in curbside recyclable paper bags and features natural fertilizers and grass seeds, including O.M. Scott & Sons™ Natural Grass Food, Tall Fescue Blend Grass Seed, Bermudagrass Grass Seed and Clover Seed.
Delivering sustainability benefits
Our natural lawn care products reflect an enhancement to our overall product line, which includes our Miracle-Gro Organic™ soils, plant food and mulch. With each product, our cross-functional team of scientists and engineers conducts extensive research to find the right formulation of natural ingredients. These formulations must meet our standard of excellence and help consumers achieve successful outcomes no matter where they live.
Active ingredients, material sourcing, product design and packaging sustainability are the top priorities that are integrated into the product development process. Our research and development team seeks to deliver sustainability benefits through:
- Recycling green waste locally. Instead of taking up valuable landfill space and contributing to methane emissions, these waste products re-enter the growing cycle as soils and mulches.
- Improving packaging by reducing the amount of plastic material and increasing the amount of post-consumer recycled material.
- Revisiting ingredients and creating natural and organic products as well as providing drought-tolerant lawn and garden options for consumers.
Filling a need
“Find a need and fill it” was the mantra of our Miracle-Gro co-founder Horace Hagedorn. We understand that more consumers don’t necessarily want the perfect lawn, but rather a green space that can stand up to the everyday activities of their families, kids and pets. They also want to use a quality product that does not use artificial ingredients or pesticides.
Our new O.M. Scott & Sons brand fills this need. The brand augments the Scotts® Turf Builder® line, which includes a program approach for year-round lawn feeding. Whether consumers are looking for a quality lawn, a pristine one or everything in between, Scotts has solutions that meet those needs.
