Planting artificial plants straight into the garden outdoors

Client was a large Sporting Club that wanted low-maintenance plants around its balconies.
-the Manager had been trying for years to keep live plants going in poorly drained external garden
exasperated, she turned to us, did we have anything that is?
sun-resistant
water-resistant
able to be planted straight into soil
tough enough to handle wear n tear of public space
looks realistic with fresh greens
answers...YES YES YES YES YES
-we suggested our new Alexander & Cane Palms with Jade Plants at base, all UV-treated
-on first balcony, we trialed just a row of Alexander palms + Jades, this was so well received, they ordered the other side done as well
-then they ordered plants for another outdoor balcony, mixing the Alexanders with taller Cane Palms
-the end result, lovely looking palms finish off their balconies, providing a pleasant visual barrier, all with little to no upkeep costs. This made Club Committee very happy, with a big "well done" being passed on to the Manager with the clever ideas!!
