Sustainability

We are raising the bar on how
houseplants are grown and shipped.

Recycled containers

Our tan production pots are made from 100% certified post-consumer recycled plastic, so the plant looks great and the pot is part of the solution.

Clean, retail-ready plants

Plants are grown through tissue culture, virus indexed, hand-inspected, labeled, and leaf-polished so they are easy to unpack and easy to sell.

Efficient facilities and shipping

A state-of-the-art greenhouse in Stuarts Draft, Virginia, near major shipping lanes, helps orders arrive fast and fresh.

Sustainability Practices

We are committed to staying on the cutting edge of sustainability practices

  • Energy savings – Water tank heated through state-of-the-art highly efficient boilers
    Double shade cloth system in greenhouse designed to retain heat

  • Erfgoed Flooring – after each flood, the water and all inputs are captured, stored, and used again, reducing water consumption and waste

  • CO₂ capture – CO₂ from our high efficiency boilers is captured and pumped to the greenhouse to turn a waste product into an input that encourages healthy plant growth.

  • Hoogendoorn IIVO Climate Control – industry leading in autonomous growing.

  • Tan Grow containers – grow containers are made from 100% post-consumer certified recycled plastics. These containers can be recycled again, as opposed to the traditional black container the industry uses.
