Products and services

• Planting Design & Consultancy Bespoke biophilic design service that shapes ideas into practical planting solutions tailored to each environment, considering light, layout, and client needs for commercial clients.
• Live Planting Design, installation, and care of living planting schemes that bring nature into commercial workspaces, using peat-free compost and electric vehicle maintenance for office and hospitality clients.
• Preserved Planting Eco-friendly preserved plants that retain natural colour, shape, and texture for years without soil, water, or sunlight, ideal for low-light or maintenance-limited commercial spaces.
• Green Walls Custom-designed vertical living wall systems with integrated irrigation, supporting lush tropical foliage or textured greenery in both natural and artificially-lit commercial environments.
• Moss Walls Bespoke preserved moss wall solutions using reindeer moss in multiple colours, requiring no watering or light, ideal for biophilic design in areas where live plants are impractical.
