Why Plants Alive
Local specialists since 1975
We design, install, and care for tropical plants in offices, event venues, and homes across the Baltimore–Washington metro. Office managers, restaurant owners, planners, producers, and florists keep choosing us because the same crew shows up every week and the plants keep looking like week one.

- Freeworkplace site visit before anything is installed
They previewed the design before anything was installed, then the same crew comes every week. If a plant fails, they replace it. That is the whole point of leasing.

Common questions
Lease, buy, or just the care?
The questions most workplaces, planners, and plant owners ask first, answered here, not a click away.
Something else? Call 301.598.3843 or send a note.
Should we lease or buy the plants?
Purchase plants and planters outright, or choose our lease program with Guaranteed Foliage Replacement for predictable costs. Most offices lease so weekly care and replacements stay in one plan. See commercial programs.
What is included in weekly maintenance?
Watering, grooming, pest monitoring, and supervisory inspections by uniformed technicians trained in horticultural sciences. On the lease program, anything that fails is replaced.
How long from quote to install?
We reply within one business day. After that: a free site visit for the design, your approval on the preview, then an install scheduled to be timely, neat, and non-disruptive.
Do you deliver and set up event rentals?
Yes. Delivery, staging, and pickup are part of every rental. Your venue looks ready when guests arrive, and we strike after. Book as early as you can for peak wedding and convention seasons.
Can I pick up plants for my home?
Yes. Pickup is at 15710 Layhill Rd, Silver Spring, MD 20906. Ask us to hold a plant when you inquire, and local delivery is available across the DC, Maryland, and Northern Virginia metro.
How small a job will you take?
From a single reception planter up to every floor of a building. Tell us the space on the form and we will say what makes sense for it.
What clients tell us
We needed height in a dark lobby. They walked the space, picked what would survive the light, and it still looks like the first week.
They showed up on time, dressed the room, and were gone before guests arrived. The strike the next morning was just as quiet.
One monthly line item instead of replacement invoices. That is why we lease.
