About Trendy Gardener
Designing Nature-Inspired Spaces That Cultivate Success and Well-Being
Trendy Gardener is a biophilic design and interior plantscaping firm specializing in thoughtfully engineered plant systems for residential and commercial environments. Based in Des Moines, Iowa, we design, install, and maintain plant environments that prioritize performance, longevity, and architectural integration.
Our work is not decorative or trend-driven. It is intentional, systems-based, and grounded in environmental reality.
A DESIGN-FIRST APPROACH TO PLANTS
Plants succeed when design, environment, and care are aligned. Without that alignment, even the most visually striking installations fail.
Trendy Gardener approaches every project with a design-first mindset, evaluating light, airflow, access, scale, and long-term maintenance before making recommendations. If a space cannot properly support live plants, we do not force an installation. Instead, we guide clients toward alternative biophilic solutions—such as preserved moss walls or hybrid features—that will perform better over time.
This philosophy protects both the space and the investment.
WHAT WE DO
Trendy Gardener provides a full spectrum of interior plant services, including:
- Interior plant design for homes and businesses
- Custom living wall systems
- Preserved moss walls and biophilic features
- Residential and commercial plant maintenance
- Plant care and specialty installation oversight
- Seasonal and specialty plant installations
Each service is structured to support long-term success, not short-term impact.
WHY CONSULTATION COMES FIRST
All major projects begin with professional evaluation. Consultation is not a formality—it is the foundation of successful plant environments.
Our consultation-first model ensures:
- Accurate feasibility assessment
- Clear expectations
- Appropriate system selection
- Reduced failure and unnecessary replacement
This approach allows us to deliver solutions that last.
BUILT FOR REAL SPACES, NOT SHOWROOMS
Homes and businesses are lived in. Light changes. Routines shift. Maintenance access varies.
We design plant environments that acknowledge these realities and remain viable within them. Whether the project involves a single statement feature or a fully integrated plant system, our work is grounded in how the space actually functions.
OUR STANDARD
At Trendy Gardener, we value:
- Clarity over convenience
- Performance over trend
- Longevity over volume
- Honest recommendations over forced solutions
This standard guides every decision we make—from design through long-term care.
