A few weeks ago, Marketing Director Mick Welding received a phone call from Jeni Kessler, office manager at Scotts Miracle-Gro, 9349 Garden Plain Rd. in Morrison. She offered to donate mulch for the walking path at the Community Garden in French Creek Park. Then she offered to have her employees spread it.
“Keep in mind, these employees are currently in their busy season, working 10 hours per day, 6 days per week. So, their only free day was Sunday, April 26th,” noted Welding. Employees and their children came armed with shovels, rakes and wheelbarrow. Even Production Manager Barb Zigler’s hubby Josh Zigler came from Littelfuse in Rock Falls joined the work crew.
“We are so grateful for this overwhelming show of support and to Timber Industries owner Tom May for donating the mulch. It looks wonderful! I would encourage everyone to support Scotts Miracle-Gro by purchasing their products to help with your gardening plans,” said Welding.
