Glastonbury, Conn.-Gro-Well Brands, which manufactures and distributes a line of natural and organic lawn and garden solutions, including fertilizers, pest control, and lawn and garden soils, has closed on its acquisition of Sierra Organics, described as one of the largest regional natural and organic landscape and soil companies in the western states. The acquisition will expand Gro-Well’s presence into the California market. Founded only last year, Gro-Well includes as distributors Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, Sears, Target, Wal-Mart, and numerous regional independent nursery chains. The company cites recent studies by the National Gardening Assn. and The Freedonia Group that the natural and organic segment of the lawn and garden industry is expected to grow approximately 15 percent a year, or three times the overall industry rate.
