 We are announcing today that we are bringing the Milestone and Ever Green
brands even closer together. Effective as of 5th December 2014, our official name
will be:

GREEN MILES WEST

The substitution of “West” in our name replacing “Cianjur” is the
result of an agreement we reached with Cianjur Gardening
Association, following a protest over the original use of “Cianjur”
in our name.
We hope this does not create any confusion among our loyal
consumers. While this represents a change from our initial name
introduction, it does not change the quality of products we offer
to our consumers.
 Please, write the announcement that you know best !
Examples : written notice, news of birth, weeding, competition , and
other event
