grow the YCGT campaign!

Happy endings to stories that involve corporations vs. individuals are all too rare, so were very pleased to report that garden writer C.L. Fornari will be able to continue her You Can Grow That campaign without any opposition from Scotts Miracle-Gro.

As she just posted:

Recently the Director of Public Relations for Scotts Miracle-Gro contacted me to let me know that this company is going to let their application of the trademarking of this phrase expire. They will not pursue their application through to registration and if I, or a YCGT non-profit group would like to file for the trademark of this phrase we will be able to do so.

C.L. credits Amys great post on this (you may remember it for the title alone)Dear Scotts: Just Try, One Time, Not to be So Shittyfor at least part of Scotts change of heart. However it happened, were thrilled for her, and look forward to the continuing development of this excellent strategy for spreading the optimism about gardening.
