Notes from the Grotto - Our Blog on All things Christmas

This week one of our London Design teams brought Christmas to a private residence in Park Lane. Prestigious residential designs have boomed this year for PHS Greenleaf including interior planting, fresh flowers and of course festive pre-decorated Christmas trees.

Another lovely design by the team, Well Done!

Christmas has well and truly arrived at Great Ormond Street Hospital this year thanks to our dedicated new sales executive Neil Saunders. At such a busy time for PHS Greenleaf Neil even assisted with the deliveries at Birmingham. Since the hospitals formation in 1852, the hospital has been dedicated to children’s healthcare and to finding new and better ways to treat childhood illnesses. Each year there are over 192,000 patient visits to the hospital. A fantastic display was created by our Greenleaf team which looks to have been enjoyed already by the patients at this wonderful hospital.

Many thanks Neil and Well Done!

Forget the China Wall, take a look at our Christmas Wall

November 11, 2010

It struck me the other day that our technicians install some fabulous Christmas trees and accessories but we don’t get to see them.  So I came up with the idea of having a Christmas Wall whereby Greenleaf technicians can send me their photos of our trees and I’ll put them online for everyone else to [...]
