Bringing
People Closer to the Wonders of the Earth
When
Bonnie Dallimore first saw a simple version of a corner planter
her brother had invented, and how it added a new dimension
to a standard corner, she saw a compelling business opportunity.
Working with her father, they developed a way to produce the
planter with a variety of wood veneers. With the help of a
Utah microenterprise loan in 1998, Bonnie and her sister,
under the original business name of Design Marketing and Manufacturing,
announced the initial launch of their first two products -
The Corner Planter and The Corner Shelf. |

“We
would not be where we are today without
the support of the UMLF.”

Since
then, in response to changing market demand, the
company has evolved into The Plant Jungle
, a full-service plant provider offering
plants, a variety of container options, supplies,
service and solutions to both commercial and residential
customers. Fifteen years ago, Bonnie stated that
her products “sell themselves once people actually
see them and visualize how they can be accessorized
to complement any home setting”, and it is still
true today. |
Located
at 2194 East Fort Union Blvd. in Salt Lake, The
Plant Jungle has floor, ceiling, wall,
corner and outdoor planters in a variety of finishes
including stone, metal, wood marble, resin and
wicker. They also carry live and silk plants and
trees, bonsais, cacti, bamboo and fresh flowers.
If you’re looking for something unique, they have
dried flowers, custom arrangements, statues, metal
wall art and artists’ design work. You will also
find gift items such as bamboo and bonsai gardens,
candles, herb lotions, gemstone jewelry and beautiful
windchimes. A $10,000 microenterprise loan in
2003 enabled The Plant Jungle to
purchase even more unique inventory.
If
you are looking for something special for your
home or office, Bonnie will be happy to visit
with you and help you create a wonderfully warm
environment, providing a sense of tranquility
that truly inspires the soul. |
