Greenwise - Milwaukee

🐝🌸 Insect populations are in rapid decline, and the Monarch butterfly is one of the hardest-hit species. The eastern Monarch population has plummeted from 300 million to less than 1 million! 😢
But here's the good news: we can make a difference right in our own backyards! 🏡

Creating habitats with native plants, especially milkw**d, can provide essential support for Monarchs and countless other insects. 🌿 By planting a patch of milkw**d or adding diverse local plants, we’re helping create safe havens for pollinators and promoting biodiversity. 🌻

Each of us has the power to turn our backyards into thriving ecosystems. It's about identifying opportunities and taking action to preserve our unique local species. Let's join together and be part of the solution! 💪💚

Introducing our Newest Milwaukee Account Manager, Diana Aungst!

We are excited to introduce Diana Aungst as our newest Account Manager at our Milwaukee branch! A lifelong resident of the Milwaukee area, Diana is deeply familiar with the landscape and its unique needs and will be covering the northern and western suburbs.

Diana earned her undergraduate degree in horticulture from Concordia University, a field she fell in love with through her passion for gardening. Her fascination with plants quickly turned into a full-blown enthusiasm, earning her the title of "plant geek" among friends and colleagues. She knew early on that she wanted a career that allowed her to immerse herself in something she truly loved.

Diana has previously worked with several current members of the Greenwise team and is thrilled to be reunited with them while continuing her work in the sustainability space. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, reading, and tending to her own garden.

We’re excited to have Diana on board and look forward to the expertise and passion she will bring to our team!

Winter Plant Care Tips ❄️🌿
When snow is on the ground, don’t forget to give your landscape some extra love:
✨ Remove snow around plants to prevent damage from weight and ice.
✨ Brush off heavy snow from delicate branches to avoid breakage. Use something soft like a broom and always brush downwards.
✨ Cover sensitive plants with frost cloth or similar coverings to shield them from extreme cold.
Protect your plants and keep your winter landscape thriving! 🌨️🌱
