Press Release:

AIFD designer, Kelly Steiner of Wisconsin, says she uses ASPENmoss™ in all her plants and arrangements. "It doesn't ‘wick’ the water and get moldy especially after repetitive watering. If ribbons come into contact with damp spanish Moss," Kelly states, "they get wet, limp and are ruined. With ASPENmoss™ this doesn't happen."

Kelly goes on to state, "In fresh arrangements, ASPENmoss™ doesn't absorb water and covers the mechanics of the arrangements perfectly and goes much further." Kelly teaches a course in basic floral design at a design school in Wisconsin. She states, "I teach the latest innovations in my classes which includes the use of ASPENmoss™ because it stays nice and fresh looking. My students love it."

Bernard McCall, President, Baumgarten/ Krueger Florists in Wisconsin reports that "after testing ASPENmoss™ on all our green plant and dish garden products, we have discontinued the use of Spanish Moss. ASPENmoss™ is cleaner, last longer and covers better. More importantly, it is much more economical than Spanish Moss."

Judy Altman of Altman’s Flowers and Gifts in Illinois says that "ASPENmoss™ is the most FLORIST FRIENDLY moss she has ever used. I use ASPENmoss™ in all my dish gardens, fresh, silk and dried arrangements. I also use green color ASPENmoss™ in our wedding bouquet holders as it covers the foam nicely and I can use less fresh greens. Also it's so soft, we can get the finest stems through it."

"ASPENmoss™ is not messy, not dirty and leaves no residue on our hands. I have employees that are allergic to Spanish moss and after we started to use ASPENmoss™ in our shop, we have had no further problems with the allergy problems. We believe this is due to ASPENmoss™ not having the mold and dust. We love the clean smell!"

Harold Hoffman of Hoffman’s Flowerland in Wisconsin, states that "in his experience, ASPENmoss™ is easier to work with and cleaner than Spanish Moss." He also states that "ASPENmoss™ is cheaper to use in the long run as it goes so far."

Janet Wrobel of Floral Plants in Illinois uses ASPENmoss™ in all their dish gardens as it doesn't get moldy. She states, "ASPENmoss™ lasts longer, you use less of it, it is not messy and is not dusty."
