2011 Green Globe Awards

King County has honored Plantscapes as a Leader in Hazardous Waste Reduction and Sustainable Business Practices with a 2011 Green Globe Award.

The text of the award reads:

“Providing services throughout Seattle for over 40 years, Plantscapes offers interior and exterior landscape management. Plantscapes works primarily with commercial properties, homeowner associations, and multi-family properties.

“They have earned the highest 5-Star certification from the EnviroStars Program by choosing the least toxic, most environmentally sensitive options available for every job, and spreading best practices through Green Gardening workshops and the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals.”

Plantscapes has long been a leader in environmentally friendly landscape practices. Our employees have adopted traffic circles – weeding, planting, and beautifying the neighborhood. They join community organizations like Master Gardeners, Master Composters, Plant Amnesty, the Association of Women in Landscaping, and Seattle Tilth. Plantscapes employees are passionate about gardening and the environment – so we are particularly proud to receive this recognition.

Congratulations to Azure Allender and Kathie Madsen who have spearheaded so many of our environmental efforts in the past year.
