FAQs
What Services do you offer?
We offer a range of services including :
Plant styling
We will work with you to design a bespoke plan for plants in your home, office or retail space. First we will talk about what your design goals are, the types of plants you have an interest in, the space and lighting you have available, pots, watering solutions etc. Finally we will ensure the final design is perfect for you and your environment. We will send over mood boards and fixed quotes so once a plan has been agreed we can work on installing these into your space.
Maintenance
Many of our clients are comfortable with taking care of their plants themselves and our bespoke care guides will help you do this. However we do offer a follow on service to have someone pop in regularly to maintain your plants, in particular green walls. We can diagnose problems and identify solutions for plants that may be struggling or ones that need replacing.
Green Living Walls
Living green walls, also known as vertical gardens, offer a visually stunning and environmentally friendly way to incorporate greenery into urban spaces. Our living walls contain unusual plants not often seen growing vertically indoors, we always try and create something unique for our clients so you aren’t just buying a basic off the shelf green wall. We will work with you to create a cost effective and unique display to wow your guests and customers!
Orchid Designs
Many orchids are natural epiphytes and grow from branches and trees, we mimic nature in our designs and offer incredible colourful and long lasting orchid displays for your events, commercial space or even your home! The require less maintenance than you think, just a bit of mist once every few days and your orchids and air plants will continue to grow, flower and impress your visitors! Check out our gallery

The benefits of indoor plants are numerous and wide-ranging. Indoor plants have been shown to improve air quality by removing harmful toxins and pollutants, as well as increasing humidity levels which can help to reduce dry skin and cold/flu symptoms. They can also improve mental well-being by reducing stress, anxiety and fatigue while also improve concentration and productivity. Indoor plants also have an incredibly positive impact on aesthetics, they can add a natural touch of beauty to any room, while also giving a sense of connection to nature.
