“The Plant Finder is the perfect tool to educate, inspire and elevate our consumers when it comes to gardening,” says Smith. “A team of horticultural experts rebuilt it from scratch. We’ve updated the information and images with the most current data.”

Visitors can search the new Plant Finder by plant type, light needs, color, personality and even plant perks. Once a consumer finds the plant they’re looking for, they discover plenty of information, including tips on how to take care of it, DIY videos and suggested complementary plants.

Users on mobile devices will have an improved experience because of the website’s use of responsive design. Costa Farms has seen more than 100 percent growth in mobile traffic.
