Re: plant of the month club

Have you thought about one of those "interior landscape" services that offices use? Don't know if they handle just one plant in one room, but if business is slow and they thought one room might lead to more...

Thanks for all the suggestions : )
Since I really need this just to be automatic, one of the subscriptions will have to do. The Gardeners Supply one is significantly cheaper than the others- so definitely going to look into it more. Thing is, I really need every other month, so that one plant is ready to be tossed out before the next one comes. There is only so much window sill space in her room!

THeresa, also noticed the Gardeners Supply catalog has what they called "Living Plants," bulbs, sent monthly. www.gardeners.com However their 6-month offering is 6 months staring in Dec, not spaced thru the year. But seemed like a good option.

Have you checked with the local nurseries/garden centers in her area? Something delivered rather than shipped will arrive in much better shape.

Yep- has to be plants, not flowers. They don't allow bouquets (additive in the water, easy to spill, glass vases, etc). I'm expecting all the plants to die- just hoping they'll make it for 2 months before the next 
one comes.
I checked FTD and they do have a plant club- but they won't send them 
every other month....

Theresa -- are you really set on a PLANT of the month club? You can set up with FTD Florist and 1800Flowers to send a bouquet monthly. I 
think at least one of these has an actual club too.  I have been
sending monthly (my choice, not prearranged)) to an elderly uncle and 
it's been working out great.  He says they last 7-10 days.

Thanks,
Theresa
