Plant Interscapes Recognized as "Going Green" 

The Woodlands, Texas, (October 13, 2009)—The Green Earth—Green Plants® program announced today that Plant Interscapes, Inc., an interior plantscape business in four cities in Texas has earned the status of being a “green” certified business. “Plant Interscapes has proven that they are an environmentally-responsible business and operate in an ecologically-friendly manner", says Kathy Fediw, LEED AP, CLP, CLT, president of Johnson Fediw Associates and founder of the certification program. Plant Interscapes is an interiorscape company that takes care of indoor plants in office buildings, hotels and public indoor spaces in the San Antonio, Austin, Dallas and Houston areas. “We know that plants help improve indoor air quality, and caring for them in an environmentally-safe manner is crucially important” says Fediw. All 4 branches have been certified, making Plant Interscapes the largest company to become certified to date. 

Mike and Karin Senneff, owners of Plant Interscapes passed a rigorous assessment and had to provide proof of the company’s operational procedures. The assessment rates an interiorscape business on their indoor and outdoor facilities, vehicle usage, recycling program, horticultural practices, staff education and giving back to the community. “Plant Interscapes is very active both in the industry and in their local communities” says Fediw. “We are proud to recognize their achievements and know they will set an example for other businesses in Texas to operate in a more earth-friendly manner.”

Plant Interscapes uses subirrigation systems on all their plants, which drastically cuts down on the need for water, fertilizer and pesticides. Plants grow healthier on these systems because they are under less stress. Plant Interscapes also has an extensive education program for their staff, ensuring that they are up to date on the latest methods and technologies available to the industry.
