Kellogg Garden Products
Overview
Descended
from the Kelloggs who headed west with the Donner party in 1846 but
crossed the Sierra Nevada Mountains before their less fortunate fellow
travelers became trapped, the family has owned and operated Kellogg
Garden Products in California for more than 85 years. The company
markets an array of top-selling soils, mulches, fertilizers, and
additives to bring flower and vegetable gardens and lawns to life.
Kellogg Garden Products offers soil and fertilizer rebates and donates
supplies and services to a number of community organizations promoting
gardening and environmental stewardship.
Founded
in the 20th century but focused on the 21st, Kellogg Garden Products
offers an informative how-to video at
www.youtube.com/watch?v=djF1VOEAcW8 and shares a depth of knowledge on
the firm’s website, www.kellogggarden.com. Visitors can view or download
the Kellogg Garden Products brochure; learn how to grow tomatoes, plant
a raised garden, or create a healthy lawn; and utilize a soil
calculator. The site, available in English and Spanish, also includes a
Kids’ Corner, frequently asked questions about gardening, testimonials,
and a location to download apps.
Dedicated
to educating youngsters about the natural environment and building
character through planting seeds and bulbs and watching them grow,
Kellogg Garden Products supports school-garden projects by donating
products. The firm assisted The New City School-Long Beach Boulevard,
which leased property to construct an urban farm, and Tustin Memorial
Academy, where students plant and harvest fruits and vegetables. Kellogg
Garden Products also contributes products and labor for The
Environmental Media Association’s mission to introduce urban students to
the natural world.
A
member of the California Association of Nursery and Garden Centers,
Kellogg Garden Products also holds memberships in the California Green
Industry Council and the U.S. Composting Council. The Kelloggs donated
the family home to the Heritage Museum of Orange County in Santa Ana,
near where H. Clay Kellogg, Sr., discovered the amazingly productive
black soil that would become Nitrohumus, Kellogg Garden Products’
original product.
