The Garden Grow Company produced a full line of branded gardening products for retailers located in the Western U.S. The company sold packaged soils, mulches and organic fertilizers to specialty retailers under the Whitney Farms brand and lawn foods, seed, fertilizers and pesticides to "big box" retailers under the Lilly Miller and Black Magic brands.
Endeavour formed a relationship with the principal owners of both Garden Grow and Lilly Miller and, in 1998, Endeavour financed a buyout led by Garden Grow management to purchase the assets of Lilly Miller.
Endeavour exited its investment in 2000.
