Press Release Summary = As lifestyles are so busy these days, people are always
looking to cut down on daily chores. Maintaining healthy looking plants at home and
in the office used to be time consuming and upsetting task when confronted with
plants that were undernourished, under watered or even both! With the availability
of artificial plants, flowers and trees that are both exceptionally realistic and in
addition low cost, this has made replica trees a real viable alternative. Artificial
Plants always look healthy and require little maintenance. In addition they do not
have the environment demands that some real life plants and trees have.

Press Release Body = James Bartlett Managing Director of Artplants.co.uk has said
that the demand for artificial plants and trees has grown significantly in recent
years. Low cost high quality production in the Far East has now ensured that
artificial plants are now a cost-effective solution. In addition people's lifestyles
have changed, and in line with the upturn in convenience foods, so the growth in the
convenience environment has followed.

As lifestyles are so busy these days, people are always looking to cut down on daily
chores. Maintaining healthy looking plants at home and in the office used to be time
consuming and upsetting task when confronted with plants that were undernourished,
under watered or even both! With the availability of artificial plants, flowers and
trees that are both exceptionally realistic and in addition low cost, this has made
replica trees a real viable alternative. Artificial Plants always look healthy and
require little maintenance. In addition they do not have the environment demands
that some real life plants and trees have.

Now with advances in technology leading to more botanically accurate artificial and
silk plants, this has lead to the stigma that was previously attached to 'artificial
plants' being a thing of the past. In addition plants can now have a variety of
low-cost treatments to make them UV resistant and fire retardant allowing them to be
placed in all environments safely.

Artplants.co.uk has tapped in to this market by offering a range of over 300
artificial trees, plants and silk flowers direct over the internet. They also
provide a bespoke service allowing them to create both outdoor and indoor trees over
30ft in height. Such commissions in the past have been for large shopping centres,
leisure facilities and large offices.

James Bartlett explains that "at the same time demand has increased in the
artificial plants market, new trends and fashions have also come to the fore. We
used to supply large numbers of the traditional ficus trees and Japanese maples. As
time has progressed what is fashionable has changed. The impetus has now switched
towards bamboos, palms and in particular topiary, boxwood and matting. We constantly
have to adapt our range at Artplants to cater for these changes."

As this market continues to develop there is no doubt that artificial plants will be
an evermore prominent feature of modern day living. James Bartlett explains "I think
the best way forward to create the ideal environment is to use a combination of both
real and artificial trees, that way you can have the best of both worlds." The
Artplants range of artificial trees can be viewed at www.artplants.co.uk. Should you
