Before You Go

A walk-through before departure: every plant checked, watering set for the time you are gone, and access arranged with you or your house manager.

Before You Return

A final visit shortly before you come home, so the collection is in order when you walk in.

Common Questions
How often do you visit while I am away?

Most homes need a visit every one to two weeks. It depends on the plants, the light and the heat in the house, and it is set at the walk-through.

Can you care for my plants all winter?

Yes. Season-long care runs from late fall to spring, with watering adjusted for short winter days and dry indoor heat.

How do you get into the home?

Access is arranged with you before you leave, whether a key, a code or your house manager. Access details are kept private.

Are you insured?

Yes. Plantburgh carries general liability insurance, and a certificate is available on request.
