Go Green With Plants Alive

Everyone's concerned about the environment these days. Here at Plants Alive!, "going green" is much more than a catchy slogan - it's a way of life. We use environmentally conscious methods to care for our plants year-round. These include:

• Watering by hand with water from our own well
• Fertilizing by hand, using no harmful chemicals in the process
• Composting all plant waste (trimmings, etc.) and using it for fertilizer
• Recycling more than 80% of the soil we use
• Re-using or recycling nearly all non-plant material we use to construct our designs

With proper care, many plant varieties live for several years, becoming more beautiful over time. When you choose Plants Alive!, you are choosing a company that is doing all it can to help our planet do the same thing.
