November 1988/A Special Advertising Section Briarcliffe Mai 1 To Look Trap Ohristmas i^~ u w % ' Copy provided by Briarcliffe Mall ' B t looks a lot like Christmas around I Briarcliffe Mall, but in a tropical sort of way.That's because the mall just received a shipment of more than 1,200 new tropical foliage plants from Sunset Hills Foliage in Laurel, Md. The plants, which will remain in the common areas of the mall on a year-round basis, help give the mall a lively, warm feeling, according to J.R. Relford, director of operations for Briarcliffe Mall. "Live plants complement a mall's interior design and really give it a complete, professional look," Relford said. "We removed our old interior plantings recently and brought in all new ones. We feel the new plants will be here for a while because they are heartv and arp opnrprl ! ? ?. v. U< VM IV/ III IV- I I V/ I design." Sunset Hilis Foliage handles interior plantscaping for many regional malls in the eastern United States. They have their own tropical foliage nursery in Florida that provides the plants. "We have worked with Sunset Hills on several occasions at our other malls and ; they do an excellent job," Relford said. "They grow their own plants and they are guaranteed." i , v & ~ A J.R.

W J, philotlendron and dracena dot the interior landscape of Briarcliffe Mall in built-in planters and free-standing, decorative pots. The interior landscape also includes pothos, silver queen, and dieffenbachia. Flowering plants such as spathiphyllum are also abundant throughout the mall. In addition to the 1,260 plants already in the mall, additional plants will be used seasonally. Poinsettias, for example, are in for the Christmas season. Easter lilies will be used for Easter, and chrysanthemums (mums) and other flowering plants will be used in the spring, summer and fall. "We have some large plants and some low-growing plants that absolutely cover a planter," says Relford. "We have several iicus benjamina (weeping fig) that almost touch the skylights in the common areas. Some are more than 15-18 feet tall." While tropical foliage is grown mostly in tropical and subtropical climates, most will prosper indoors with proper care and have become a staple in successful, upscale malls such as Briarcliffe Mall.
