The 9-year-old retail operation in Fort Mill focuses on training for employees, asking vendors to come in prior to the spring season to train employees on new products, as well as sending key workers to The Garden Center Group meetings and other industry events.
Co-owners Tom and Kelly Young have started doing a local garden spot on the 5:30 p.m. news with a local weather personality called "Weather In The Garden."
