Interior Landscapes and Indoor Plant Care

I started in the interior landscape industry as an interior landscape technician in 1985, working for Tiffany's Decorative Plants in Fremont, California. One of my first accounts was the Xerox Research Center in Palo Alto, CA. It was such a big account that it took an entire day to complete all of the work caring for the plants. Not long after I started this job, my supervisor at Tiffany's (then the 2nd largest interior landscape company in the San Francisco Bay Area) let me know she had received the first ever compliment from one of their clients, my contact at Xerox. What a surprise that was, it got me a small promotion and, of course, more work! Indoor plant care seemed pretty easy to me but maybe it is genetics...my mother and grandmother were always avid gardeners but they never really ventured into the world of indoor plants. I have always enjoyed the job because I never had to stay in one place for very long. Days are never boring in the interior landscaping world, that's for sure. Anyway, that is the beginning of the story of my interior landscape career. In other words, I have a lot of experience taking care of indoor tropical plants! I have always enjoyed helping customers on accounts with their personal plants when they had problems.
