“We are listening to our audience, and they are telling us they want more of Allen’s advice and thoughts on everything from planting roses to cooking with items from the garden to entertaining,” said Mimi San Pedro, chief operating and marketing officer for Hortus Ltd., which oversees marketing for the P. Allen Smith brand. “These new products are a way for us to extend Allen’s brand beyond solely the garden and help consumers create their own garden home lifestyle.”
