Americans staying at home during the novel coronavirus pandemic are fueling a boom in the garden industry.
Even indoor gardening is increasing in popularity. That's good news for Plantz in Tampa.
“We feel like people are in their homes and they want to be close to nature, close to plants,” says Steve Stanford, owner of Plantz.
The company’s core business is leasing and caring for indoor foliage in places like office buildings and that part of the business is down, but Stanford says when they considered closing until the crisis is over, they noticed an uptick in online sales.
