GET GROWING: Fossil Group Employees Get Their Hands Dirty To Make Time For Good

Over the past year, Fossil Group’s employee-led On-Site Community Garden bloomed from a simple question: How can we grow food to donate to local community partners?  Take a look at the fruits (and vegetables) of our labor.

  • Dec 2016

    Two Fossil designers pitch the idea of an On-Site Community Garden.

  • Spring 2017

    A team of green thumbs from Fossil Central Station brainstorm potential spaces, logistics and operational next steps, including budget, design, and structure for a Community Garden.

  • Earth Day 2017

    Fossil Group announces the pilot location of the On-Site Community Garden and issues a call-to-action to employees to join the effort.

  • Summer 2017

    The Community Garden team finalizes the pilot budget and plot design. They secure build-out supplies and set up a water spigot and a garden shed.
