A Tree Made With Poinsettias Will Delight Your Clients

It seems like the summer just got started, yet Fall is already here. The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder – and the Holidays are getting closer and closer.

Plantscapes’ 2009 Holiday Plants and Decorations Program is already in full swing. We can decorate your office, lobby, courtyard – or even your grounds – with beautiful seasonal plants and decorations.

If you love the look and smell of holiday greens, we can hang garlands and wreaths, as well as deliver and decorate your live Christmas tree.

If you prefer the convenience of artificial greens, we have talented artists on staff to design decorations just for you.

And to top it all, no matter how large or small your space is, Plantscapes offers everyone’s favorite holiday plant, the Poinsettia.

Of course, our florist quality poinsettias are available in traditional red or white. We also offer the popular, modern marble poinsettia for a contemporary look.

All points are available in foil covered pots with color co-ordinated bows.

Our sizes range from small 4″ pots, perfect for a desktop, to large  8″ plants that will brighten any location.

If you are a current Plantscapes customer, you can order your Poinsettias online, by phone, or by fax. If you’d like to speak to a sales representative about our full holiday program, please give us a call at (206) 623-7100 and we’ll set up an appointment.

Water Wisely to Conserve Water

Be happy - Save Water and Save Money
Be Happy - Save Water and Save Money

After a wet, rainy, snowy fall, winter and spring, the Puget Sound region is now experiencing an unusually dry and hot summer.

Unless you have some sort of irrigation, your lawn is probably looking patchy and brown. Plants in containers need more water usual. And even well established perennials and shrubs may be looking droopy.

Plantscapes Commercial exterior Landscape Division has been turning on and adjusting irrigation for months. Many of our clients ask our technicians how they can keep their gardens and lawns at home looking green and healthy without racking up excessive water bills or wasting water.

Here are a few tips that may help:

1) Your lawn only needs 1 inch of water a week (whether from your hose or from rainfall). Don’t water in rainy weather. And don’t water during the hottest part of the day.

2) Group your plants by water requirements to simplify watering. If all plants in one bed need the same amount of water, you can use a drip irrigation system orweeping hose to keep them healthy, without fear of over- or under-watering some plants.

3) Older, established plants – such as mature shrubs and trees – have deep root systems. They can find water deep in the soil. They require much less water than new plants.

4) Use mulch.  2 inches of mulch will keep the soil cool, suppress weeds, and prevent evaporation.

5) Use native plants. Plants naturally adapted to your location are more likely to survive and even thrive in the dry Puget Sound summer and wet winter.
