Here we have a very intricate "Rainforest" design, which was done for Victory Ministries International's 2011 fundraiser. This was another multi-design project; in addition to the rainforest, we also added some plants to their sanctuary for this event. Click the image to view these photos.

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.
