Miracle-Gro will be using Plant City as a backdrop to promote “National Repot Your Plant Day.” Actor & pitchman Peter Strauss will be in town to conduct interviews with radio and TV reporters on March 31st. Plant City was chosen partly because of it’s name. By the way, Plant City is not named after anything that grows in your garden. It’s named after Henry Plant, who built a rail line along the west coast of Florida and across the state. He also built the Tampa Bay Hotel, now home to the University of Tampa including Plant Museuem and Plant Park.
