From Wylie’s Garden
A view of Wylie’s back yard. When you call Plantscapes, you’ll probably talk to Wylie. Ask him how he turned a patch of grass into a lush sanctuary.
From Louise’s Garden
When Plantscapes employees go home, after tending to our clients plants all day, we retreat to our gardens, where we can rest and enjoy… our own plants! We garden to relax. We love plants!

Jan Sheldon, Plantscapes’ Interior Area Co-Ordinator, is also a Master Gardener. This year, her home garden was part of the Snohomish County Master Gardeners’ Tour. This brief video shows some of the abundance and beauty of her astonishing garden.
Our Commitment to the Environment
At Plantscapes, plants are not just our job, they are our passion.
Because we love nature, we care about the environment. Several Plantscapes employees are members of their local Master Gardeners and Master Composters groups. Some belong to Plant Amnesty or Seattle Tilth.
This personal commitment to environmentally sound landscaping carries through from our personal to our professional lives. Plantscapes has always recycled plant material as well as paper, cardboard, and other office waste.
Beyond these common business practices, we are commited to using the safest and least disruptive methods of pest and weed control.
Strong, healthy plants are the best defense against pest infestations. We will always work with our clients to choose the right plant in the right place – one that is suited to both the light and temperature requirements of the individual environment where it will be placed. When plants outgrow their space or containers, we replace them.
However, even with the best of care, some pest problems are inevitable (that is part of the cycle of nature). When problems arise, Plantscapes is committed to using the softest pest control methods available.
For instance, Plantscapes has been a leader in the use of beneficial insects for pest control in shopping mall, hotel, and business atriums. We use soaps and natural pest control products to keep plants healthy. If there is any chance that the public could unknowingly be exposed to chemicals, we choose organic pest control methods instead.
