Bailey honors four brand licensee partners for their exceptional work with Bailey Consumer Brands Endless Summer® Hydrangeas, First Editions® Shrubs & Trees, and Easy Elegance® Roses, the company said in a statement.
“We appreciate each of our partners that represent our consumer brands within their own businesses, and we want to recognize them for their efforts,” said Brand & Business Development Manager Layci Gragnani. “This was our second year awarding our hard-working network partners.
