You're right, Bill. Gardens Alive bought the whole shebang and has
them operating again under their previous names. They all belonged
to Foster & Gallagher, who went under when they had to give up the
Michigan Bulb sweepstakes, and took all the companies with them.
Just a real pity they didn't deep six Michigan Bulb. I used to think
nice thoughts about Gardens Alive, but my attitude has changed since
they have foisted that horror back on the unsuspecting gardening
public.
The other companies that were owned by F&G and are now owned by GA
are:
Breck Bulb, Stark Bros. Nurseries, Springhill Nursery, Henry Fields
Seed & Nursery and Gurney's Seed & Nursery.
