What are the health benefits of plants?

Including plants in your interior actively contributes to cleaner air by converting CO2 into oxygen and by converting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into compounds which the plants then feed on to remain healthy. Research shows that plants have a positive effect on the way people feel, they help to create a feeling of vitality, lifting spirits and creating happiness. Lush, healthy plants can make people feel better. Plants are also seen to have a positive effect in the hospitality and spa industry. For instance, those who go to a spa want to leave feeling relaxed, plants can enhance their experience resulting in them leaving calm. Plants bring so many benefits to their environments and the people in them, but noise reduction properties are less widely known as they also absorb, diffract and reflect sound...as plants are multi-layered they help deflect and absorb sound from the room. Adding plants in your space is an effective way of creating a focal point that also helps to improve the health and well-being of everyone inside.

Do you offer a rental option?

Yes. A rental package is an ideal solution for a lot of organisations because it removes any need for a significant initial capital outlay and instead spreads out your costs over the term of the contract – normally three years. It also provides the flexibility to change and update the specification should your space change in the future and you’re not stuck with the planters you bought a few years earlier. A rental package includes our full maintenance service to ensure your displays are always in peak condition. Rental is normally invoiced quarterly in advance.

How long does it take to install a project?

This all depends on the planting specification and complexity of the installation. Most installation are carried out within 4 or 5 weeks from order but sometimes it can be quicker if it includes items we have in stock. However, our administration team will keep in touch with you so that you know where everything is up to and when to expect our team on site. If you have a specific deadline for an opening etc. we will always do everything we can to meet your timescales.
