Green industry supports Sandy victims

The employee owners of Gardener's Supply, a garden center with two locations in Vermont, are uniting to raise funds for their peers in New Jersey whose lives were devastated by Hurricane Sandy.

Many employees of Sickles Market in Little Silver, N.J. ( a specialty food market and garden center) lost everything in the storm: homes, apartments, belongings. In an effort to help with their tremendous loss, the employee owners at Gardener's Supply Company have created a fund drive for their friends.

The fund was organized by Patrick Pearsall, manager of Gardener's Supply, and will be administered by Bob Sickles. The fundraiser will run through Dec. 9. Click here to visit the fundraiser page.
