The product is a top seller in its Category on Amazon and sells thousands of units per year in the United States, the United Kingdom and across the European Union.
Red Earth Commerce negotiated to purchase the assets of The Gardner's Friend from The Valspring Group, Ltd. of Berwick, Nova Scotia, Canada. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Valspring, led by Landscaping and Gardening industry veteran Paul Grimm has built the brand in six global markets through a combination of skillful supply chain management, great customer service and sophisticated on-site marketing on Amazon.
"We were so impressed with what Paul has done with The Gardener's Friend and felt Red Earth Commerce was a natural partner to carry the brand forward," said Red Earth Commerce CEO Eric Warren. "Building on the strong foundation of the brand, its presence in multiple global markets, and the broad product line, we are confident we can carry it forward to even greater success."
