We are receiving more requests from customers to communicate our thoughts on how we can help them to be more sustainable.
If you aren’t already doing so, this list might help:
1. If you have all your pots and planters in place, we recommend you keep them and switch to recycled materials next time.
TIP
When you do make the switch for new planters, ensure they are made from recycled materials and purchase planters that are 100% recyclable and CO2 neutral, click here
2. Switch live planting to hydroculture planting, the full details of this are explained in this article, click here
DID YOU KNOW
Hydroculture is the cultivation of live plants in water, a method of growing plants without the use of soil. They require less maintenance and you can keep the option of live planting.
3. Switch fresh flowers to preserved, you can read more in this article, click here
TIP
Reduce costs. Fresh flowers are currently increasing in cost due to production and logistics. Whereas preserved flowers have a fixed cost and last longer.
4. You could change external planting by switching live for lifelike planting. This ensures the installation is completed once, providing a low maintenance option and cost savings.
DID YOU KNOW
The Savoy switched to lifelike Buxus Ball Topiary’s and Buxus Spirals with slate top dressing, planted into the hotel’s in-situ planters just outside their main entrance, click here
5. You can have a quarterly seasonal change rather than weekly maintenance.
TIP
Make your planting themed. We work with customers to ensure their seasonal changes are topical and on-trend. Whether it’s summer celebrations, autumnal colours or Christmas ambience, Leaflike provide a quarterly contract option to help manage the finances.
