Where Are The Optimal Fiberglass Planter Pots Made?

Over the past several years Vietnam has become a major manufacturing center for Fiberglas planters. And elsewhere, there are some quality manufacturers, such as the Jay Scots brand available from Greenville Planters, and the rest are packs that have jumped on the strip.

First of all, know that fiberglass planters have to be made by hand. Vietnam is an emerging economy and therefore can supply the necessary labor to do this work. This does not mean that production facilities should be inferior, or "sweatshops". They can be, but they don't have to be. As the Vietnamese economy continues to mature, more regulation is gradually being implemented. Jay Scots has been extremely active with its manufacturing facilities to the extent that any of its existing facilities in Canada can be easily abandoned and all health and safety regulations passed. Employees are treated above local standards and as expected in Canada. Culturally, it has been a challenge to train employees there to be conscious of health and safety concerns, to expect long-term employment, and to feel part of the company team. It is changing in a positive way and Jay Scots is at the forefront of this change.

And frankly, the hand that comes with a well-trained, well-cared-for staff is a sense of pride in workmanship that translates into a superior product, even if it is at a premium price.

And make no mistake, Fiberglas is a classic sweatshop that produces planters. They all come with horror stories you've probably read, including child labor, poor working conditions, no job security, and certainly no concern for the health and safety of workers.

So if and when you see the knock-offs of our J. Scott planter pots that may look similar, and are marketed as quality products, but are fairly cheap, know that there is a reason for the price discrepancy. Cheap input materials and cheap "sweatshop" labor will distribute to cheap planters.

However, if you prefer to invest in quality that will continue to provide satisfaction from year to year, then we urge you to find out more and Greenville Planters is a good place to start.

Three Cost-Effective Landscaping Ideas To Boost Your Property’s Curb Appeal

Whether for your business or home, landscaping is a fundamental part of a property’s care. However, landscaping is not always the most reasonable investment and cost for design and maintenance can certainly mount to more than expected. Larger businesses may be able to afford costly landscape payments but smaller businesses may be deterred from hiring landscapers for fear of breaking their budget.

All businesses, regardless of size and profit, deserve to have a well-maintained, professional curb appeal that reflects well on their brand. With Greenville Planters, you can have a gorgeously groomed property that fits with your spending plan. Check out our three cost-effective landscaping tips below.

Invest in Practical Plants

It may be tempting to buy those colourful, potted plants you see in flower stores or as you run errands, however, they are far from practical for a commercial property’s curb appeal. Large fibreglass planters are the most cost-effective plant solution for businesses that do not have time to maintain dependent plants. Greenville Planters’ fibreglass planters are able to remain outdoors in all seasons, regardless of harsh conditions. Our large outdoor planters can have drainage holes installed in the bottom, which allows them to be left out in all conditions. The outdoor planters never sit in a pool of water or thick ice, because the feet allow excess water to run off. Convenient and extremely stylish with a variety of shapes to choose from, our custom planters are a practical choice for businesses to use to enhance their curb appeal.

Utilize The Natural Landscape

Many businesses attempt to replace and create their own landscaping. Although this can be exciting and creative, it is not sensible for businesses that need to stick to a budget. Utilize the natural elements surrounding your commercial property, from large trees to grassy regions or hills. Attempting to alter these areas will result in a massive price surge. The natural elements surrounding your property can function as your biggest asset and impress guests. Changing it to be more refined or traditional is expensive and may work against you.

Large Planters Enhance The Exterior And Interior of Commercial Properties

Whether renovating your commercial space completely or simply redesigning it, there are many factors to consider. Decorative planters are usually among the last of these factors and are considered a relatively minor part of the redesign project. However, large fibreglass planters can often play a much more prominent role and influence in the overall indoor or outdoor design concept of the project. Commercial planters can enhance your building’s curb appeal and inside space dramatically.

Whether you’re redesigning the inside of your commercial property exclusively or revamping its landscape as well, it’s important to match the size of the planter and contents inside to the scale of your project. Check out how to achieve this for a smooth, visually appealing redesign.

Designing The Interior With Large Planters

Adding large planters to the inside of your commercial property can add a necessary element to the overall style and visual appeal of the space. It’s important to choose suitable plants and planter size to appropriately spruce up space. Here’s what to do:

Hearty Plants: Selecting hearty plants that do not require overwhelming upkeep is in the best interest of business owners. Adding plants that do not depend on frequent upkeep such as large succulents is the perfect solution. A large succulent, such as a cactus, adds the perfect touch of greenery to space and does not require much water. A sturdy plant, the cactus fits perfectly in a sturdy fibreglass planter, but you can also look into colourful Sunburst or Kiwi plants.

Highlight An Area: Large planters are perfect for highlighting specific areas inside your commercial property that you want customers or clients to notice. Whether the area is a hall, doorway, bar area or artwork space, the planter is sure to catch their eye.

Designing The Landscape With Large Planters

Large commercial planters can be used to curb appeal and to enhance your commercial property’s landscape. They’re far more visually appealing than small planters. Here are some ways to incorporate large planters on your property:

Make An Impact: Large planters make an exceptional impact on a commercial property’s exterior and essentially become a piece of art in the landscape. Large planters are perfect for the entryways to your business by making a statement and an exceptional first impression. Large planters can also act as a partition for certain areas in the patio or walkways or simply act as an aesthetic touch.

Fall and Summer Plants: For large outdoor planters, you have a range of possibilities of plants to choose from to fit in them. During the summertime, choose large tropical plants that make a statement and suit the season. During the fall and winter, use large plants that thrive in cold weather such as an Emerald Green Arborvitae, a Blue Point Juniper or Holly.

Greenville Planters carries an extensive, durable and beautiful fleet of large fibreglass planters for your commercial or residential property needs. Whether you’re interested strictly in planters for the indoors or for your landscape as well, we ensure you’ll find the perfect planters for your space.

Four Low-Maintenance Outdoor Plants Perfect For Your Business’ Landscape

Plants enhance any space, whether they’re indoors or outdoors. This is especially important for businesses. The first thing customers notice about a business is its curb appeal, which is why it’s imperative to create and maintain an impressive landscape. One of the most effective ways to do so is by adding large outdoor planters near the entrance and/or the patio to complete the space. However, it can be difficult to know where to start when it comes to plants and which are appropriate for a business.

Commercial outdoor planters offer a low-maintenance and excellent way to beautify any landscape. In this article, we’ve gathered the top four low-maintenance outdoor plants to enhance a business’ landscape.

1. Hosta Plants

Hosta plants include several different flowers that are extremely low-maintenance and durable. In fact, you can plant hostas and leave them be for a duration of time and they will thrive and grow. Certain hosta varieties require more shade, whereas others require plenty of sunlight. The general rule of thumb is that the lighter the plant, the more sunlight it will require. Hosta plants also have an incredibly low risk of developing plant disease, especially when potted.

2. Succulents

People love flowers and that includes plucking their beautiful petals. However, having petals picked and plucked away can ruin the overall aesthetic of your landscape. Succulents eliminate this issue by being a plant without “plucking” qualities. Succulents are extremely durable and drought-resistant, which makes them the perfect low-maintenance plants for an outdoor landscape. For a more ornate look, you can even combine several succulent plants into one planter. From cacti to burro’s tail, there is a variety of succulent types to choose from that are perfect for your landscape.

3. Perennial Flowers

Perennial flowers are a popular plant choice due to their incredibly low upkeep expectations and year-long beautiful blooming qualities. There are a variety of perennial types in different colours, from oranges to blues and pinks and purples. Perennial plants will warm and adorn your business’ exterior perfectly to draw in customers. Pot your perennials in planters during the fall or spring to allow them to thrive all summer long.

4. Daylily

Daylilies are extremely unique flowers that thrive all year long with plenty of water. Bred by professional horticulturists, daylilies are the perfect plants for their beauty, durability and ability to last throughout the year with little upkeep. Daylilies are perfect for large fibreglass planters. All Greenville Planters come equipped with solid bottoms and draining holes to ensure the water is given to the plant and dispersed off to prevent any pooling.

Four Ways To Keep Your Container Plants Healthy and Happy

Plants enhance the interior and exterior of any residential or commercial property. They offer a sense of warmth, welcoming and beauty that human-made items cannot match. However, plants can only thrive and maintain their beauty if they are provided with what they need to flourish. Indoor planters and outdoor planters are the perfect homes for plants to thrive in and enhance a property’s landscape.

Discover the four most effective ways to ensure the health and happiness of your container plants all year long below.

1. Pick The Right Size Planter

Firstly, determine whether you’re going to place your plant in an indoor planter or outdoor planter. Larger planters may be more suitable outside of commercial properties to entice customers and clients or outside of residential homes as part of the landscape. The size of the plant should also determine the size of the planter. Large outdoor planters often hold more moisture, which does not require you to water the plant as often. As plants grow and develop, they will become outstretched and need a planter that will not restrict that growth.

2. Select The Right Plants

You should be selecting plants that will thrive and perform optimally in the climate your property is in. If you’re choosing to have outdoor plants for the summer season, opt for summer-blooming plants. Many of them are tropical and thrive during the hot and humid seasons, which include begonias, calla lilies, dahlias or elephant ears. For the spring season, it’s best to select plants that thrive in a sunny but dry environment, such as the ‘Golden Sword’ Yucca, which has swordlike leaves, splatters of golden yellow in the center and grows to two to three feet. During the winters, the Japanese Yew will not only tolerate but thrive in harsh winter settings, which makes them a perfect part of your home or business’ entrance.

3. Water Regularly

In many climates, plants grown in outdoor planters do require frequent watering. When watering the plants, ensure you spend time watering deeply, evenly and thoroughly throughout to ensure the entire root will get soaked. If you want to conserve moisture to spread out watering intervals, cover the soil surface with mulch. This can protect the plants against harsh, drying winds and allow for more humidity to be produced, which will make watering far easier.

4. Fertilize Diligently

Planter-grown plants need to be fertilized regularly and diligently to ensure they grow properly and beautifully. Plants will absorb the nutrients in soil mix right away, which is why you should be fertilizing them with water-soluble based fertilizer bi-weekly.
