When you step into a business with lush, thriving plants, it’s not just a visual treat—it’s a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively. This is the magic that Angelia Lynch, CEO of A New Leaf, brings to the businesses of Winston-Salem and beyond.
Founded in 1976 by Anne Sessions and Jan Assisomos in Winston-SAlem, NC, A New Leaf has grown into a trusted name in interior plantscape design. Now, under the expert leadership of Angelia, who took over the reins as the sole owner, the business continues to thrive by offering a unique blend of horticulture and interior decoration services.
A New Leaf specializes in creating green spaces within businesses. From corporate offices to healthcare facilities, they provide everything needed to transform an ordinary space into a verdant oasis. Their services include designing, installing, and maintaining indoor plants, ensuring that every plant thrives in its new environment. Angelia and her team understand each plant’s specific light and care requirements, making sure they flourish and enhance the space.
Angelia’s business also offers plant rentals, a popular choice for weddings and corporate events. “People don’t want flowers anymore; they’re opting for a greener touch with plants,” she shares. Whether a small gathering or a large-scale commercial event, A New Leaf provides plants that create an inviting and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.
But that’s not all — A New Leaf is also the Triad’s most extensive Christmas tree decorating business. From grand foyers to corporate offices and even large residences, they provide beautifully decorated Christmas trees, wreaths, and poinsettias, adding a festive touch to any space.
Having plants inside your business isn’t just about aesthetics but well-being. Studies, including long-term research by NASA, have shown that indoor plants can significantly improve air quality and reduce employee sick days. “One plant cleans 100 square feet of space,” Angelia points out, emphasizing plants’ health benefits to indoor environments.
This focus on well-being has made A New Leaf a preferred choice for businesses looking to boost employee morale and create a welcoming environment for customers.
A New Leaf’s clientele reads like a who’s who of the region’s most prominent businesses. From Wake Forest University to RJR Reynolds, these organizations trust A New Leaf for their interior
landscaping needs. Angelia attributes this trust to the long-standing reputation and personal touch her company offers. “We’re like little mini-counselors,” she says with a smile, describing how her team interacts with clients, not just as service providers, but as friends who care.
Angelia’s love for plants is deeply personal. It is rooted in her childhood spent with her grandmother, who was an avid plant lover. This passion has carried her through years in the business, turning A New Leaf into more than just a job—it’s her life’s work. Her background as an elementary teacher also plays a role, as she brings the same nurturing spirit to her business that she once brought to her classroom.
Operating out of Winston-Salem, A New Leaf serves a broad area, including Greensboro, Walnut Cove, and North Wilkesboro. Whether a corporate client in High Point or a small business in the heart of Winston-Salem, Angelia’s team is there to provide exceptional service.
What truly sets A New Leaf apart is the personal connection Angelia and her team forge with their clients. From attending clients’ family events to offering special discounts to employees of their business clients, A New Leaf goes above and beyond to build lasting relationships. “We get to be part of your home and your family,” says Angelia, a sentiment at the heart of everything they do.
In a world where big corporations often overshadow small businesses, A New Leaf stands out as a beacon of personal service, quality, and community spirit. For those in Winston-Salem and the surrounding areas looking to add a touch of green to their spaces, A New Leaf is more than just a service provider—they’re a trusted partner in creating beautiful, healthy environments.
