Artificial plants, trees, fruit, flowers. Plastic fruit, flowers, plants
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at my website.
I started Plants Enhance in 1987 and to begin with I as offering the rental of both live and artificial plants for commercial premises throughout the South West of England. 20 years later my eldest son Oliver took over the rental side of the business and I was then able to put all my effort into the Plants Enhance OnLine website.
I am always on the look out for high quality fake fruit, trees, plants and flowers to add to my products and I use the idea that would I be happy with that product in my home or office and if the answer is yes then it gets added to the site.
I have weathered some of the artificial flowering plants outside to see how they stand the test of time and I have come to the conclusion that the pansy flower bushes are by far the best to cope with the English weather. Consequently I only offer these flowers in my hanging baskets. I make each basket up personally and instead of using the usual two pansy bushes in each basket (this is what you will find in a lot of the garden centres and some other websites) I use five along with three artificial ivy bushes. I like my baskets to be very full and to give a good display and as I make each one up you can have any combination of coloured pansy bushes that you want, subject to stock of course!
With the artificial fruit I have sourced weighted fruit which not only looks extremely realistic but also feels very life like. I felt that along side the weighted fruit I needed to be able to offer the plastic alternative as I know that for some displays it is volume that counts and this way you can achieve the ideal finished display whilst still keeping to a realistic budget.
Regards the silk flowers, I have to be honest and say that I cannot arrange a flower to save my life and I am not so good on my selection of artificial flowers but I am working on this. I can say though that the flowers that are on the site are very good and I do stock more flowers than are shown so it is worth getting in touch just in case I have what you are looking for.
The artificial plants are ideal for those dark areas in the house or office that live plants cannot survive in. Why not try a boston fern in the bathroom or a bird of paradise in the board room.
I love the buxus trees for outside and we have them at home. The triple ball topiary trees that I have either side of the front door are now seven years old and just starting to look a little "tired"!
I really would recommend any of the ficus, capensia and bamboo trees although I am not personally so keen on the palm trees.
Oliver also runs Entirely Topiary. This is a business that makes the frames and covers them with either boxwood or buxus matting to create custom built hedges or any shape you require. I have wrapped many an exotic animal for TNT, a pelican, pig and giraffe to name but a few!!!
Talking of TNT, all my prices include the delivery charges as well as the VAT. There is nothing worse than getting all the way to a check out and then finding an addtional charge at the very end so I will not do this. I use Royal Mail first class post for the smaller items and TNT for the larger items. I was so impressed with TNT that I ended up marrying my TNT driver back in June 2011!
So if you are still reading this, thank you so much and I hope that you may feel more reassured from buying from my site, if not then please give me a ring on 01934 710088 or email me on sales@plants enhance.com and we can have a "no obligation" chat about any of the products on the site.
Thank you for you time and the very best wishes
Erica
