More than a Growing Company
Co-Founders say Botanicare is growing as a people and leadership development company built on customer focus.
Treg Bradley, Executive President, Chairman of the Board and Founder
Treg Bradley has always been working on innovative ways to incorporate gardening into everyday life. With the vision that one day all homes would be equipped with indoor gardening space. He is an Arizona native who grew up in the Gilbert area. A long-time Hydrogardening enthusiast, Treg opened Sea of Green, a specialty gardening store in 1992. He created "Pure Blend" in the back room of that store, which became a wildly successful plant nutrient. The success of Pure Blend line inspired him to focus on developing new products. After a few years he divested the Sea of Green stores and incorporated American Agritech in Tempe, Arizona and launched its primary product line, Botanicare - for which the company has become better known.
As an entrepreneur and inventor, Treg collaborated with industrial designer Karim Rashid to introduce Grobal, a self-watering planter that became Botanicare's first mainstream consumer product in 2007. In 2011 the Grobal is a featured product in the Museum of Modern Art's (MoMA) spring catalog.

Botanicare History - 15 Years and Still Growing.
Treg Bradley is passionate about Hydroponics. In 1992, what started as a hobby bloomed into a career when he opened a store in Tempe, Arizona call "Sea of Green", which catered to Hydrogardening enthusiasts and provided everything from hydroponics equipment to organic nutrient solutions.
An Experimental Plant Nutrient
Treg's expanding nutrient knowledge and sheer desire to provide customers with the best products on the market were driving factors in creating what would eventually become Botanicare. As part of an experimental new approach to address needs of local growers, he developed a special organic plant supplement that he called Pure Blend. He literally brewed it in the back room of his store and gave Pure Blend to several of his favorite customers, asking them to give it a try. Customers who used this effective product were encouraged to return to the store with empty bottles to get refills - and they did in droves. After rave reviews he began to package it as Pure Blend Original and sell it.
The demand for Pure Blend grew gardening retailers began to contact Treg to see if they could order Pure Blend for their stores. Within two years after hitting the shelves, Bradley developed an additional product line called Pure Blend Pro.
By 1996 Sea of Green opened two additional stores in Arizona and the success of the Pure Blend line inspired Bradley to focus his efforts solely on developing new products. He sold the Sea of Green stores and incorporated American Agritech in Tempe, Arizona and launched its primary product line: Botanicare.
