About the Rock Star Award

Our Rock Star award honors ECG employees who demonstrate a sustained high level of performance and inspire others.

Our latest recipient, Lee Hatcher, started working for ECG in 2020. He’s now an assistant grower on the plant care team at our Milton, FL location.

Here’s what Lee’s co-workers had to say when nominating him as a Rock Star.

“My vote is for Lee in plant care. That’s one hard working dude!”

“Lee Hatcher gets my vote. He works very hard and is very consistent at plant care duties such as trimming, cutting, and drenching. He will normally be seen working alone, getting after it. Very dependable.”

“I’d like to nominate Lee Hatcher for rockstar. He’s proven himself reliable and hardworking, all while maintaining a great attitude. Last month he was promoted to an assistant grower. He’s continued to shine in this new role, never shying away from more responsibilities or the chance to learn something new.”

“Lee deserves this award! He works so hard. We feel very blessed.”

- Lee's wife Natalie (ECG Plant Care)

“My vote will once again go to Lee Hatcher of Milton grass plant care. Day in and day out, Lee displays an unparalleled work ethic paired with a positive attitude. He’s willing and eager to learn, and flexible. Everyone knows we can count on Lee in a pinch. Always willing to lend a hand to any and all departments. I truly enjoy working with Lee.”

“I'd like to nominate Lee Hatcher from Plant Care. He is consistent, reliable, and hard working. He thoroughly understands the workings of the farm and is invaluable as an employee.”

“Without reservation, Lee Hatcher has stepped up and deserves recognition. Lee is always willing to take on new responsibilities and tasks. He is extremely reliable and hardworking.”

“I’m very grateful we have Lee on the team. I’m looking forward to watching him ‘grow’ along with the plants he tends!”
