Grower's Secret created an organic plant growth enhancer. This material commands a plant to grow faster, larger, and guard itself against pests and disease. The company then adds this material to other organic fertilizers, creating products which address every stage of a plant’s life cycle. Grower’s Secret is patented in 157 countries and used by both home gardeners and commercial growers. With the environment top of mind, Grower’s Secret leads the industry with products packaged in 100% post- recycled consumer plastic.
We believe companies, like individuals, need to be environmentally and socially responsible. We discovered a material that benefits growers, populations, and the environment that allows us to be part of the solution to repair our earth. The stakeholders of our business are dedicated to using this material in community gardens with the support of employee volunteer hours so as our boat rises with the tide, more benefit from the success.
The Change We Seek®
Grower’s Secret aims to help reduce the threat to humans by helping repair the NPK balance in our planet. The material they have discovered will eventually be proven to utilize more of the available nitrogen in the soil, allowing growers to use less nitrogen with less runoff into our oceans.
Furthermore, while Grower’s Secret would suggest organic growing practices, they understand that it may take years to fully engage all growers and encourage the majority to change. Since their material is easily incorporated into traditional growing methods, it is the company’s hope that it will be a first step for many growers in the transition to more sustainable practices.
Finally, Grower’s Secret believes in working together as a team with transparency to support building retained earnings to fund these efforts, to benefit our employees and community, and help build more sustainable growing practices globally.
