Thriving Design to debut DIY plant support system at MANTS

Thriving Design, the garden product start-up of Colorado inventor Jason Rider and his sister Morgan Rider, announced the debut of its C-BITEs at the Mid-Atlantic Nursery Trade Show on January 6-8, 2021.

C-BITE garden clips are a customizable and reusable alternative to traditional plant supports. C-BITEs click together in over 140 different ways and connect garden stakes together. From trellises to tomato cages, C-BITEs’ multiple points of connection and designs are limited only by the imagination. C-BITES work with standard steel stakes, natural cane, netting, plant ties and other accessories to create custom support solutions.

Customers can select C-BITEs in colors like orange, lime green, or an “incognito green” that blends with foliage and garden stakes. C-BITEs can adapt to gardeners’ current stakes and cages, replacing or enforcing single-use tape and ties as a strong and sustainable solution.

As a public benefit corporation and 1% for the Planet member, Thriving Design donates a portion of its sales to helping people connect with the planet, healthy food and a greener future.

Additionally, Thriving Design believes that gardening should be fun for gardeners of all ages. A new partnership with KidsGardening will bring C-BITEs plant support kits to 25 youth gardening programs across the United States in 2021. And with the ultimate goal of zero waste certification and carbon neutrality, Thriving Design is committed to stewarding the planet for the next generation.

Following the launch at MANTS 2021, C-BITEs will be available online at thrivingdesign.com and in select garden centers and hardware stores nationwide. For information on distribution and sales or to make an appointment during MANTS, email ohsnap@thrivingdesign.com.
