About Plant Designs, Inc.

Our company was originally founded in 1975 by John Hudak as an outdoor landscaping firm named PLAN (Penfield Landscape and Nursery). During the 1980s, PLAN did both outdoor and indoor projects of all sizes, but slowly began to focus in indoor plants. By 1989, the company stopped doing outdoor landscaping. The company's mission was switched to specialize exclusively in indoor plants and plant maintenance services.

The 1990s brought a new stage of growth for PLAN. The company relocated from Penfield to downtown Rochester. Satellite offices were started in both Syracuse and Buffalo. Through a philosophy of superior customer service, PLAN's client base began to increase rapidly. 

In 1999, the long-overdue decision was made to change the company's name from PLAN to Plant Designs, Inc. Though our former name had long been synonymous with quality service, the company wanted a name more easily associated with indoor plants.  In 2001, our main office moved to a larger facility near where we first started in Penfield. This was our third warehouse expansion in fifteen years.

Today, Plant Designs, Inc. has over 40 employees, and regularly services indoor plants for over 500 clients from Buffalo to Albany. These clients include businesses of all sizes, office buildings, malls, hospitals, and residences. In addition, Plant Designs services several large out-of-state clients from Illinois to Massachusetts. Plant Designs also creates unique display and decor items using silk plants, flowers, and other decor items for major food service clients throughout the United States.
