It's all about sustainability

Plant marketing company Tesselaar Plants is leading the way in environmentally-friendly plant production. ‘We’ve been operating with a sustainable approach for the 15 years we’ve been in business,’ says founder Anthony Tesselaar. ‘In fact, the basic premise behind what we do – easy to grow, easy care plants – is itself a contribution to a greener world. The plants we promote are selected for their high-quality performance but they must also be able to thrive with less water and minimal chemicals.’

Tesselaar plants all have a low to no demand for pesticides and fungicides, and the company is heavily involved in research and development designed to identify plant varieties which have improved tolerances, or cleaner methods of propagation and growing.

The company is also exploring clever and sustainable methods of grey water treatment, and other water saving products.
