A Winter Scene, evergreens on rolling hillsides, with the sun rising in the background.

This winter solstice marks not only the promise of longer days and a new gardening season ahead but also the twelfth anniversary of our transition to a 100% employee-owned company. It is a day we greet with reverence, gratitude, and joy. As a company, we gather to reflect on the year behind us and set our intentions for the year ahead. We celebrate nature, honor the return of the sun, and recommit to our mission of making the world a better place through gardening. And, as employee-owners, we symbolically share a piece of the pie, by serving home-baked slices to anyone who visits our garden centers on this day. This year, due to the ongoing pandemic, we've swapped slices of pie for individual whoopie pies. But the gesture is no less meaningful. If you stop in to either our Burlington (VT), Williston (VT), Lebanon (NH), or Hadley (MA) garden centers, we invite you enjoy one with us!

And wherever you are, I invite you to share in our tradition of reflection and intention. I meet with all of our employees in small groups and talk about our commitment to employee ownership. We each reflect on something we would like to achieve in the next six months. We write down our intention and put it in an envelope. Then, on the Summer Solstice, we give the envelope back to each employee so we can reflect on whether we achieved what we had written. I encourage all of you to find a way to mark this moment in time in way that is significant to you. We know that change can happen when we are intentional. Thank you for being part of the Gardener's Supply Company family. I wish you a very happy, healthy, and hearty holiday season!
