Thomson’s environmental contributions are best known through Superthrive and its effects: reforestation; increased volume, grade and speed of crops; overcoming adverse growing conditions; providing mental and physical health helps; eliminating interior toxicity; and reviving trees and other plants.

“When I worked at Blue Hills Nursery in the 1970s, I learned about Superthrive, what it could do for plants and the man behind it,” says Nick Federoff, America’s Natural Master Gardener who paid Thomson a visit for the award. “So I started using it myself growing cycads by seed, and the results were amazing.”
