So I did a search and contacted about 10 different interior landscaping services. Lisa from Plants Inc. responded. She came to our space and we did a walk around and looked at the space, lighting, I gave her our ideas. She knew SO much about the plants, how they work in what spaces, and she had some very innovative ideas for where to put plants and how- which made her stand out from some of the other services who I talked to. She was very willing to work within our budget and make adjustments so we got what we wanted- within a price range. The proposal she created for us was also probably the easiest to understand. I appreciated that because I had to go through and explain each proposal to management. We have not decided which service we will go with yet, but Lisa at Plants Inc. did such a great job, she is in the top 3, and I would be very happy to continue working with her.

Yay for Apple Fest, I was able to stop on by! They had a small booth at Apple Fest but I'm glad that we were still there when the store opened because as you may imagine, there was quite a bit more in store. They feature local artisans and lots of Chicago merchandise, from clothing to artwork. I bought baby's first hoodie here because it's super cute with the Chicago flag and everything! The staff were really friendly as well and happily they take digital wallets. Next time I have guests, this is the shop I'm going to suggest to them whether or not they think they want souvenirs, because they have a lot of great stuff here. I will definitely return as well because they have some lovely items that can work for home or as gifts. I especially would like to find a onesie or t-shirt for my daughter that has the Ork Posters (who own Neighborly) neighborhoods image on it.
