Our Core Values

We Go Deep

We get our hands dirty to uncover the best product, the best people, the best partners. We’re committed to quality at every level.

Be Bold

We’re leaders. We say what’s on our mind. We’re not afraid to do things differently. We’re not satisfied with the status quo.

Small But Mighty

We punch above our weight. We’re efficient and relentless. We learn together, we grow together, we win together.

Sustain Life

We believe every life matters. Plants. Animals. Humans. All walks of life. All greenspaces. Our business succeeds when life succeeds.
