Every day millions of people go to work at their 9 to 5 office job to be completely disconnected from the natural environment with their only sources of light being artificial overhead lamps and the glow of their monitors, only occasionally catching a glimpse of the world outside as they pass by a window. It takes its toll on our mental and physical health over time, we begin to feel depressed and disconnected without quite understanding why, subconsciously missing the open sky and the soothing green of vegetation.
In recent years many businesses have come to understand this problem and have taken steps to alleviate it by adding potted plants to the workplace decor. The problem is, space is at a premium in expensive office buildings, so there is only so much room for these greening efforts. Fortunately, there is another part of the office that most people don’t think about that can provide workers with the greenery they crave- the walls! We are now seeing a rise in the presence of vertical gardens that transform the grey of a blank steel and concrete wall into a lush facade of living plants that lift spirits and boost productivity!
Let’s learn some more about what this innovative approach to providing greenery-starved office workers with the healing presence of living vegetation can do for your office!
Can Fit Any Office Space – A vertical garden can be installed in any office space, no matter the size or shape. They are made with a modular technique that doesn’t require any renovation or new construction. All you need is a wall, and up it goes, out of the way of workflow traffic, while providing a relaxing presence for everyone in the room.
Can Reduce Office Noise – Offices are typically crowded and noisy places to be in, everybody is busy discussing their plans, tapping on their keyboards, and holding impromptu staff meetings around the water cooler or coffee machine! One study showed that office workers lose around 90 minutes of work time a day due to being distracted by all the surrounding noise. A vertical garden plays a role similar to the planting of trees along a busy highway to shield the neighbouring homes from the ceaseless din, the vegetation provides a natural quieting effect, absorbing the noise into its foliage.
Can Improve Air Quality – This may sound surprising, but the air inside an office building can be more than 90% dirtier than the street level! With very few openable windows the building is a nearly closed system, and even with filters the HVAC struggles to maintain a clean air state! A vertical garden eats up carbon dioxide and puts oxygen back into the air. The vegetation also traps odours, germs, and dust, acting as a natural air freshener!If you are working in, or are the owner of an office, consider having a vertical garden installed, it’s a great aesthetic addition to your space that also improves its health and contributes to the well-being of everyone within thanks to its many natural benefits. Enjoy the greenery today!
