Revolutionising Office Spaces in London: The Power of Planting

In the bustling city of London, office spaces are undergoing a green revolution. The power of planting is being harnessed to transform workplaces into healthier, happier and more productive environments. This blog post explores the role of office planting in creating a positive work environment and provides an example of successful office planting in London.

Office planting is not just about aesthetics; it’s about creating a healthier and more pleasant work environment. Plants can improve air quality by absorbing pollutants and releasing oxygen. They can reduce noise levels whilst also boosting employees’ mood and productivity.

A study by the University of Exeter found that employees were 15% more productive when their workplaces were filled with plants.

Choosing the right plants for your office is crucial. You need to consider factors such as light levels, temperature and humidity.

Some plants, such as snake plants and ZZ plants, are hardy and can tolerate a range of conditions, making them ideal for offices. Other plants, such as ferns and orchids, require more care and are better suited to offices with plenty of natural light and higher humidity levels.

Fortunately, our team of plant experts work closely with you to understand your premise and needs, creating a bespoke indoor landscaping scheme with plants that will thrive in your office’s conditions.

An impressive example of office planting in London is the transformation of a busy financial headquarters in Canary Wharf. This leading financial group, located in the bustling financial district, houses their headquarters in a state-of-the-art building with an outstanding BREEAM rating (a method of assessing, rating and certifying the sustainability of buildings), making it one of the most environmentally friendly buildings in the area.

We introduced a biophilic design scheme to this office, incorporating approximately 10,000 live plants. The success of this project demonstrates the power of office planting in enhancing the work environment and promoting employee well-being.

The transformation was not just about adding greenery to the office space. It was a strategic move to improve the overall work environment. The introduction of plants served multiple purposes. It improved the aesthetics of the office, making it more appealing and inviting. It also improved the air quality, as plants are known to absorb pollutants and release oxygen. But perhaps most importantly, it created a calming and soothing environment that helped reduce stress and increase productivity amongst employees.

The project was a huge success and served as a model for other businesses in London and beyond. It showcased how office planting can revolutionise the workspace and contribute to a healthier, happier and more productive work environment.

The future of office planting in London looks bright. As more businesses recognise the benefits of office planting, it’s likely that we’ll see even more green offices in the future. Whether it’s a small pot plant on a desk or a large living wall, every plant can make a difference. So why not join the green revolution and add some plants to your office today?
