ABOUT
PIA
The
Plantscape Industry Alliance, formerly CIPA, is an organization
of professionals who design, install and maintain plants in the interior
environment. Dedicated to bringing nature indoors, we advocate the use
of living plants in interior landscapes to enhance human well-being. Living
plants are an esthetic improvement to any indoor area, as well as functioning
to remove air pollutants from the interior environment. Follow this link
to view PIA's Code of Ethics.
Our mission is to advance the professionalism of interior plantscapers and industry affiliates through quality programs, educational material and networking opportunities.
Our goals are to
- increase the use of plants in the interior environment
- increase public awareness of the benefits of live foliage in the interior environment
- assist in the development of ornamental horticulture programs in the education system
- assist companies in developing and implementing sound business practices
- function as a financially responsible non-profit organization
- increase the professionalism of the industry
