Landscape Management Magazine Features SoBo x SMU

In October’s edition of Landscape Management Magazine, Southern Botanical’s exceptional care of the Southern Methodist University landscape was highlighted in an article entitled “Not Your Average Campus”.

An excerpt from this article details “more than 60,000 seasonal color pots line the campus during the spring and winter with annual flowers. During the changeouts, Southern Botanical puts an emphasis on recycling plant material that is in good condition through transplanting perennials used during summer installations to other parts of the campus.”

Sustainable solutions such as repurposing plant material, as well as utilizing high-efficiency nozzles and water-wise irrigation management practices, set Southern Botanical apart as The Green Standard.
