The Garden division supplies an extensive catalog of lawn and garden necessities. This includes grass seed, a variety of wild bird products (feed, feeders, houses, and accessories), fertilizers, decorative outdoor lifestyle items, and live plants. Additionally, it provides solutions for pest and weed control, offering herbicides, insecticides, and other pesticide products. Notable brands under the Garden segment are AMDRO, Ferry-Morse, Pennington, and Sevin, alongside others like Bell Nursery, Lilly Miller, and Over-N-Out.
