“Programs like Muir Ranch help foster community and empowers
students to take an active interest in gardening and find
inspiration and beauty in the world around them,” said John Sass,
Vice President and General Manager of Miracle-Gro. “I hope
Miracle-Gro’s continued support and today’s efforts strengthen and
expand opportunities at the farm and allows the students to grow
their ever popular bouquets for the residents of Pasadena.”
Ty Pennington, 1967 Rose Queen Barbara Laughray and 1995 Rose
Queen Aliya Coher joined Miracle-Gro at Muir Ranch helping to plant
roses and were on-hand to recognize the program and participants
with a $25,000 donation. As an added surprise, today’s
attendees were the first to see Miracle-Gro’s 2017 Rose Parade
float design.
‘Everything's Coming Up Roses’ is Miracle-Gro's Rose Parade
salute to America’s National flower and the most popular grown
flower in backyard gardens. From tiny miniature roses to large
vibrant blossoms, over 25,000 roses will be featured throughout in
this fanciful floral float. Joining Pennington, Laughray and Coher
on this year’s float will be 2007 Rose Queen Mary McCluggage and
2015 Rose Queen Madison Triplett.
“This year’s parade theme: ‘Echoes of Success’ celebrates those
people, organizations and institutions that have made an impact on
someone’s life. Our 2017 float not only honors the very flower for
which the Parade is named, we’ll recognize the accomplishments of
four former Rose Queens and celebrates the success gardeners have
achieved for decades with the help of Miracle-Gro.”
