We do interior landscaping and maintain tropical plants in over 400 accounts. Are we essential to keep them alive?

HI Andy- I am not sure the answer to this question. Interior plants aren't really part of our organization. We are Landscape and Nursery professionals, exterior. I would suggest requesting essential designation for your business by following this link: https://esd.ny.gov/sites/default/files/Request%20for%20Designation%20Form_2.pdf
