All associates with Green Thumb Planting take pride in their work, and Green Thumb is happy to provide references. Abstract (Replace ‘problem’ with abstract) Mason Office Center is a lovely Georgian building containing four offices. However, the interior is not attractive or inviting for clients/customers and employees. The off-white walls throughout the complex seem dull and boring, adjectives the tenants do not want associated with their businesses. In addition, the air in the building is musty and unpleasant at times. Proposal description (Replace ‘solution’ with ‘project description) Green Thumb Planting can provide and maintain a beautiful plantscape in the building that will attract visitors and employees as well as purify the air and introduce more oxygen.

Green Thumb’s service agreement provides plants and pots, weekly maintenance, and monthly replacement of weak plants. Scheduling When a plan is agreed upon, Green Thumb will schedule installation within one week. Installation can be accomplished during the evening hours to avoid interrupting your tenants’ business activities. All soil and materials will be brought into the building in specially designed trolleys to prevent spillage and damage to floors. I anticipate being able to complete the job in
