Overdevest launches sustainable program

New Jersey-based Overdevest Nurseries, the company behind the Garden Splendor plant brand, introduced a new line of eco-friendly patio plants this summer. The company's Footprints brand is available to independent garden centers in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Footprints plants are grown using sustainable elements, such as compost made from renewable soil ingredients and recycled irrigation water. Plants are potted in natural-component containers and labeled with biodegradable tags. Among the varieties included in the program are Pennisetum 'Rubrum,' Rudbeckia 'Chim Chiminee' and Knock Out rose.
