PROVIDING THE TOOLS TO GROW
What inspired Project Orange Thumb?
Fiskars Garden and Outdoor Living is an innovator in the lawn and garden market and we see community garden groups as innovators in their communities. We believe it's important to support the people who make communities better places to live. Fiskars created Project Orange ThumbSM to support community garden groups with tools and materials.
Why call it Project Orange Thumb?
There's a natural connection between gardeners and green thumbs. There's also a connection between Fiskars and our trademark orange handles. So pulling them together seemed like a natural.
