Among this selection of soils, Ms. Johnson developed products specifically tailored for certain plants, including cacti, azaleas, and patio plants. In addition, Kellogg Garden Products offers a selection of mulches to retain soil moisture, sod preparation for growing grass and turf, and compost that deters pests and weeds.

With a selection of natural and organic blended fertilizers, Gardner and Bloome products cater to blooming plants and transplants, as well as vegetables and fruit trees. Furthermore, Ms. Johnson offers through Gardner and Bloome a wide array of single ingredient fertilizers that perform particular tasks in growing plants. The single ingredient fertilizers vary from alfalfa meal, which aids in soil restoration after planting and harvest, to fish meal, which contains key trace elements that provide protection from frost and drought.
