How many plants do I get for $ value?
This will depend on the variety of plants hired, whether they are a speciality or from our standard range. They will all be in the best condition possible and be seasonally available.
What is your maintenance service?
This extra service ensures that there is sufficient water in the pots. The maintenance services checks for pests and diseases and feeds the plants with the necessary liquid food.
