Julie Davis Farrow started Plantscapers Inc. in 1981 while a senior in high school. "A friend did outdoor landscaping and when a big client in Long Beach asked if he could do the interior as well, he passed the job on to me.'' She later studied interior design, horticulture and general business practices at Orange Coast College. "I designed and installed the interior of that company and many of their neighbors liked my work, so before long I had a bunch of clients. At first I drove around a little truck and worked out of my parents' garage.''
Within five years, Farrow partnered with her husband, opened an office and now has a 6,800-square-foot showroom and warehouse in Irvine, where they display live plant selections, as well as Replica, their high-end line of silk plants.
Over the past 25 years Farrow has seen the industry grow and the choice of materials skyrocket. "Back when I started in the 1980s, I had just three vendors for containers. Now I have over 500 suppliers, and the selection of pots is limitless. The variety of plants available has also increased considerably thanks to the incredible work of hybridizers. Our design team constantly monitors industry trends, including the new products and plants available, and we try to emulate that in our landscape design.''
The goal of Plantscapers is to exceed the clients expectations by creating a unique and harmonizing interior landscape design. To ensure the quality of our accounts,
we provide exceptional weekly plant maintenance service. We take pride in our professional full-time staff of dynamic, knowledgeable and experienced employees.
