SPROUTS!, INC. RECEIVES COMMENDATION FROM US SENATOR MEL MARTINEZ (R-FL)
Eco Conscious Company Manufactures Recycled Seeded Paper Products That Grow Flowers
(West Palm Beach, FL) After being named the Northern Palm Beach County Chamber of Commerce Small Business of the Year this past June, Sprouts!, Inc. received two more prestigious commendations when US Senator Mel Martinez (R-FL) and Florida House Representative Carl J. Domino (R-District 83) congratulated the five-year-old company for a job well done.
Senator Martinez not only recognized the company´s owner and founder, Sharon Quercioli, for her "hard work and dedication," but lauded the savvy entrepreneur for "selflessly giving her time and talents to charity." The senator extended his best wishes for the coming year and pledged "If my office can ever be of assistance, we are at your service."
Representative Domino commended the company for its "vision and support of the environment by using eco-friendly products." Domino also praised Quercioli for her "dedication of personal time to raise awareness" and for "giving back to the community."
Founded five years ago, Sprouts jumped onto the national stage in 2008 after launching its "Bee Kind" campaign with the creation of a paper embedded with 100% pollinator-friendly flower seeds. Haagen-Dazs utilized this paper for a marketing piece that was inserted into Newsweek magazine. This year the innovative company announced a new product line, "Growing Green Packaging." Made entirely from 100% recycled paper embedded with flower seeds, Growing Green Packaging meets the needs of eco-conscious companies looking for a green product packaging alternative.
"Unlike traditional product packaging, when our Growing Green Packaging is planted in soil, it naturally biodegrades and beautiful flowers grow," said Quercioli.
