Going Above & Beyond |
| As stewards of the Earth, both in thought and practice, we believe serving the community with an unparalleled selection of nursery and home décor items should not come at the price of the environment. We’ve adopted a green approach to running our business, demonstrating our commitment to the environment and allow us to become a “green” gardening leader. Our comprehensive sustainability programs range from how we generate and use our energy sources, to how we manage our water use. We take pride in implementing an active approach to preserving California’s environment and positively influencing the green habits of our loyal customers. |
