The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company SMG

Company Overview

The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company is a leading U.S.-based lawn and garden products company operating primarily in the consumer lawn and garden, indoor gardening, and hydroponics industries. The company’s core business focuses on branded products that support home gardening, lawn care, and controlled-environment agriculture, with revenue largely driven by seasonal consumer demand. Its primary brands are widely distributed through mass merchandisers, home improvement retailers, and specialty garden centers.

The company traces its origins to 1868, when Orlando McLean Scott founded a seed business in Ohio. Over time, Scotts expanded through product innovation and acquisitions, including its landmark merger with Miracle-Gro in 1995, forming the modern Scotts Miracle-Gro Company. The company has since evolved from a traditional lawn care supplier into a diversified horticulture company with exposure to both outdoor consumer markets and indoor growing technologies.
