At Leafscape, we are the Arkansas leader in live plant rental services because we love what we do! As Central Arkansas’s largest live indoor plant provider, we have been owner-operated by a degreed horticulturalist for 33 years. Our passion is indoor plants, and taking care of our customers. Part of that passion demands staying on top of changes and advances within the indoor landscaping industry. This benefits our clients as well as provides necessary material to further educate our staff of plant experts. Attending professional organization events, industry conferences, and tradeshows to stay current with new trends and innovations in the world of indoor plants is one way we gain continuing education material for our team. Leafscape is also very active in association events in which our customers are involved. Attending their events provides a valuable platform for giving back and educating others on the industry and benefits that indoor plants provide.
