Hi David, you provided the plants my wedding last Sunday Oct 14th at the Crosley…..for Kim and Jim 🙂 I just wanted to say thank you for the beautiful set up and plants.  I never got a chance to see anyone but it looked beautiful and I just wanted to personally thank you.  That mansion doesnt need much and what we decided on was just perfect.

Thank you, I will recommend and use you again, Kim S. Wedding  Planner , October 23, 2012

Absolutley awesome job…..these folks (three Plant Parent Associates) all worked together like the professionals that they are. I believe it is the most gorgeous tree and garland we’ve had here at (Sarasota HQ Buidling) in the 9 or 10 years I have been doing this. Can we book for next year? I just wanted to let you know that I am beyond pleased.

Dear Stephanie and David,

Just a short, very informal “Thank You” for you services at the Wedding. The Palms worked out beautifully, just to dress up the otherwise plain, bland decor.  Service , delivery and pickup were perfect and all went well.

Again, many thanks.

Why Plants

Plant Parents offers many options of plant types & colors to create a certain mood to enhance the clients home or office design while improving and creating a healthy clean air environment.

Health and Workplace Benefits

Plants when in direct exposure to people create a pleasant vibrancy, in addition to being powerful air cleaners. Studies have found live plants are excellent at removing indoor pollutants and significantly increase employee productivity. Less absenteeism, less health problems, employee retention, and a better sense of well-being were also cited as benefits of live plants.

Businesses have realized that the physical environment directly affects an employee’s ability and desire to work. Plants help boost morale and build employee contentment, leading to an increase in employee satisfaction. Now, businesses are realizing that interior plants are a natural and vital part of a productive workplace environment and are now accepted in parts of the LEED program at schools of design and architecture.

Intrinsic Benefits

Plants are essential to life on earth. They naturally belong in our living and working environment. Plants create a pleasant vibrancy in any office, room, home, or lanai. Many schools of design and architecture, including Fung Shui, emphasize plants for creating well defined spaces.

Workplace Benefits

Businesses have realized that the physical environment directly affects an employee’s ability and desire to work. Now, businesses are realizing that interior plants are a natural and vital part of a productive workplace environment.

Office plants help attract and retain high quality employees.
Interior landscaped offices boost morale and build employee contentment, leading to an increase in employee satisfaction.
Plants aid in the increase of employee productivity by creating an environment that is less stressful, and they can contribute to a lessening of sick days. Attractive well designed plants in decorative containers can increase your sales by projecting a confident and efficient image. This indicates to your clients and/or customers that you and your company are caring, intelligent, and successful.
