Our Ecosystem

On who we are and why we do what we do.

Who We Are

We believe in beautifying our community. We sell plants, garden supplies, patio furniture, and seasonal décor. We landscape. We grow plants and manufacture what we can. We’re a wildly diverse group of people bound by our shared passion for the beautiful, the natural, and the authentic. And we like it like that.

And What Will Our Contribution Be?

Our business, like all businesses, has certain common business functions. And it’s our belief that the more we standardize those functions not unique to our business – and focus our energy and effort on those things that provide real, direct value to our customers and to our community – the more successful we’ll be.

The Components of Our Ecosystem

So we’ve tried to standardize this, the different components of the system that is our business. We’re calling it our Ecosystem. The six components of our Ecosystem, as we like to think about them, are Purpose, People, Strategy, Process, Data, and Dialogue.

Like an ecosystem, our place is a complex network of people in a complex environment operating in delicate balance. Introduce something new, and everything reacts. Take something away, and everything adjusts. It’s our responsibility to communicate, understand, and respect the balance. So we can keep doing this. What we love to do. Working together to engage our community and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world.

Want to learn more about our Ecosystem and how we think about it at our place? We’ve written a short manifesto that you can view, print, and share.
