Miracle-Gro was created by Rutgers University professor O. Wesley Davidson, a research scientist in plant nutrition and orchid culture, around 1940-1950, at the request of Otto Stern (a mail-order seller of houseplants) and Horace Hagedorn (who worked with an advertiser).
Scotts LawnService/TruGreen Merger
In April 2016 TruGreen announces that it has merged with Scotts LawnService. After the merger the Scotts brand would no longer be used and Scotts customers would no longer receive Scotts brand products as part of their lawn treatments, they would be switched over to products used by TruGreen. The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company would still have a 30% stake in the company after the merger, with the option to buy the operations back in the future from TruGreen.
