Greening the offices people actually work in

Design, installation and the maintenance round that keeps it alive after the launch photos are taken.

We turn offices into places people are willing to spend eight hours

A working environment should be pleasant without anybody having to campaign for it. We design planting schemes that survive real buildings — the dry air, the away days, the fortnight when nobody waters anything.

the maintenance round

Four reasons this tends to go well

1

Quality

Nursery-grade stock, acclimatised in our own growing room for three weeks before it ever enters your building.

2

Speed

Survey to install in under four weeks for a standard floor. We work evenings so nobody loses a desk day.

3

Range

From six planters in a meeting room to a four-storey living wall with irrigation and a maintenance contract.

4

Reach

Our own crews in four cities, so the fortnightly round is done by people who installed the scheme.

Nobody notices good planting. They notice how the room feels. Canopy studio, first principle
