Our office was going through a few staffing changes, and to help everyone transition into their new positions, I thought I’d give them all a plant for their desk. Not only did the new plants go over great, everyone took time to name and create identities for their new plant friends. The new plants turned our office from a cube farm to a jungle! We need more for sure. Thanks, Ed’s Plant Shop for your fast shipping and super healthy plants!
