When you decide you are ready for a Botanicals design consultation, a member of their team will come to your location and meet with you to collaborate in the creation of your plantscape. Whether indoors or out they get into the details of space usage, lighting, traffic flow, and décor to seamlessly integrate a plan for the addition of plants and containers to enhance your space.

Why plantscape? Plantscapes add vitality and balance to our lives. ‘Biophilia’ means a love of life – a desire to be around nature, plants, and flowers. There is something special that happens when we are around plants: We get happier, we get calmer, and we feel at peace. This effect plants have on us has been scientifically coined “The Biophilia Effect.” At Botanicals, they love to discuss the positive effects plantscapes have in our lives and love creating plantscapes that maximize that positivity.

After your plantscape is installed they can help you with a service package to continue the life and beauty of your investment. They provide options suitable to your budget. Ranging from a full-service full-guarantee plan to a once-a-month or on-call check-in plan for the do-it-yourselfers. Their highly-trained technicians follow their very own 52-point quality checklist and keep your plantscape vibrant and growing. They can also add seasonal rotating blooming plants for the focal points in your space.

Botanicals Garden Center was founded on the promise of making the world a more beautiful and healthful place. Human existence is based upon the intimate interactions we have with plant life. From the physical benefits of the air and food, we consume to the psychological and physiological effects of enjoyment, reprieve, and peace. Plants add vitality and balance to our lives.

They love participating in the creation of indoor and outdoor container gardening. You can go to them for expert advice on do-it-yourself projects or rely upon their team for everything from design services, customized plantings, installation, and ongoing maintenance. Their aim is to bring beauty and respite through the natural elements they incorporate in all their plantscapes. Visit their website at www.botanicalsdesign.com.
