  • Publication number: 20030236703
    Abstract: The present invention is directed toward a method of doing business that provides for the floral decorating of a hotel room. The present invention describes a method for providing planters and plants to hotel rooms and guest rooms free of charge. Advertisers pay for advertising space on the planters, and the advertisements are then printed upon or affixed to the sides of the planters. The plants are planted in a soil substitute which lowers the all-around maintenance needs (watering, fertilizer, repotting) of the plants/flowers, ensuring a longer lasting display.
