This year's National Partner Network Meeting took place right here in Marysville, Ohio. ScottsMiracle-Gro was excited to open its doors and give The Scotts Miracle-Gro Foundation's partners a behind-the-scenes look at several areas of the business. It was a unique opportunity to show some of the ways the company is looking to GroMoreGood now and in the future.

What is the National Partner Network?

The Foundation formed and financially supports the National Partner Network, a group of environmental organizations at the forefront of change through their dedication to tackling a wide range of environmental issues, including improving waterways, conserving water across the country and preserving and restoring pollinator habitats.

What is the goal of the event?

The goal of the event is to bring together all of the partners for networking, making deeper connections with partners and knowledge sharing. Some of the knowledge sharing came directly from the hosts. For example, R&D shared its plans for drought-tolerant products while the lawns team spoke about its vision for the yard of the future. The two-and-a-half day event maintained a full schedule with activities on and off our Marysville campus. This included the following:

• R&D tour

• Apiary Presentation with COBA

• Lunch ‘n Learn on the Future of Landscapes, Turf and Groundcover

• Hike at Big Darby Creek Nature Preserve

• Kayaking in Columbus

In past years, our environmental partners have hosted the event where their organizations are located rotating between places like Annapolis, MD and Galveston, TX. The network requested to have this year's meeting on our campus, and we were happy to host, share and have a little fun along the way.
