Cha-ching! (5-25)

American Plant, with three locations in Maryland and Virginia, was "green" before "green" was cool. In fact, the garden center wears its commitment to Earthwise gardening on its sleeve -- and practically everywhere else it markets.

From its website to its advertising campaigns, from its product lines to the education classes it offers, the center consistently urges customers to adopt sound gardening practices so plants can flourish naturally, without reliance on chemical pesticides.

To help them with the "follow through," American Plant even has a resident expert on Earthwise gardening on staff. Mitch Baker is a Maryland Certified Professional Horticulturist with more than 30 years of experience who is available for consultation. Baker will go to customers' homes to evaluate soil health, diagnose a specific problem or discuss cultural issues specific to the growing environment. He is also a great resource for information on natural organics and the process of "feeding the soil.” 

Because of its commitment to earth-friendly practices, American Plant gets ample opportunity to feed the coffers, as well. And you know what that's called -- that's right, "Cha-ching!"
