Clegg’s Nursery

“Growing Together: Cultivating Louisiana’s Love for Gardening

Clegg’s Nursery has been a Baton Rouge staple for decades — a trusted, family-owned garden center known for its massive selection, friendly service, and deep horticultural expertise. With multiple locations and their own greenhouses supplying locally grown annuals, perennials, and seasonal color, Clegg’s has become the region’s go-to destination for everything green. But even a beloved local brand must evolve to meet new generations of customers. To expand its reach and reconnect with Louisiana’s growing population of new homeowners, young families, and fi rst-time gardeners, Clegg’s turned to Partners Marketing Agency for a complete brand and marketing transformation.

The Ask.

Clegg’s Nursery wanted to refresh its marketing approach to better reach modern audiences — especially families, new homeowners, and younger customers looking to create beautiful landscapes without extensive gardening know-how. The goals were clear:

  • Modernize Clegg’s digital presence and website to reflect its expertise and make plant discovery easier.
  • Develop seasonal branding campaigns that inspired year-round engagement (spring blooms, summer gardens, fall color, Christmas greenery).
  • Increase family engagement and encourage in-store visits through storytelling, expert guidance, and local visibility.
  • Create consistent messaging across traditional and digital channels — including a fun, “stereotypically unlikely” partnership with ESPN Radio’s Matt Mosconaon After Further Review.
  • Drive measurable growth in both foot traffic and brand awareness.

The Solution.

Partners Marketing Agency delivered a multi-channel marketing program grounded in strategy, storytelling, and authenticity — ensuring that Clegg’s remained deeply local, while expanding its reach across Louisiana’s growing communities.

Each campaign was designed not only to sell plants — but to inspire con fi dence and make Clegg’s a trusted partner for anyone looking to bring beauty to their home.

To strengthen local presence, Partners Marketing Agency expanded beyond digital to develop traditional broadcast strategies that connected with the community’s personality and humor.

  • TV & Radio Campaigns: The agency produced light-hearted, memorable radio spots on ESPN’s After Further Review with Matt Moscona , blending Clegg’s expertise with Moscona’s signature personality — an unlikely but engaging partnership that humanized the brand and expanded awareness among local sports audiences.
  • The creative leaned on humor and local charm: “Even if you don’t know a petunia from a palm tree — Clegg’s has your back.”
  • Broadcast-to-Digital Bridge: Each spot directed listeners to seasonal promotions on the website, reinforcing cross-channel consistency and measurable conversion tracking.

Partners helped position Clegg’s not just as a nursery — but as a community hub for families.

  • Developed family-friendly content and in-store events (“Kids Plant Day,” “Garden with Mom Week,” “Fall Pumpkin Patch Weekends”) encouraging weekend visits.
  • Highlighted expert staff — Clegg’s seasoned plant specialists featured in short videos and blogs explaining how to start, plant, and care for gardens successfully.
