Living Walls: Vertical Garden Design

In honor of Earth Day today, I would like to chat quickly about LIVING WALLS!! These works of art are always so impressive to me! Their design, texture, color, but what gets me the most is their immense size! Doing a bunch of research on living walls has lead me to seeing all sorts of wonderful companies who specialize in vertical walls, among my favorite is Vertical Garden Design (they do some seriously AMAZING work)

Here's a little bit about them: "VERTICAL GARDEN DESIGN IS A LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE PRACTICE SPECIALIZING IN VERTICAL GARDENS. WITH OVER 10 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, OUR VERTICAL GARDENS CAN BE FOUND ACROSS THE GLOBE, IN HOTELS, RESTAURANTS, OFFICES, FACADES AS FAR AFIELD AS BEIJING, BARCELONA, DUBAI, ABU DHABI, LISBON, STOCKHOLM, AND OSLO. THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED BY SWEDISH LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT MICHAEL HELLGREN."

Here's just a small sample of the stunning work that they do! Make sure to check out their site for more of their projects!

What do you think?! How much do you love their work? We are hoping that the Boston and surrounding greater Boston area will start to transform into a much greener city with sustainable goals that include more green walls, roof gardens, urban farming, wild flower roof tops, etc..

Bring Spring into the Office

March 20th marks the first day of spring!! What time is better than now to bring in the new season? For this colorbowl rotation we wanted to bring the beauty of spring into your offices! Have a peek at some of the stunning arrangements that we sent out. 

Boston for the Day

On Tuesday we set up camp at the Rose Kennedy Greenway to hand out free starter azaleas to Boston dwellers! We had so much fun and we were able to give out 600 azaleas and create over 600 smiles! National Indoor plant week, I must admit, is one of my favorites, I love being able brighten up someones day. And what better way than to receive a free plant?! 

Take a peek at the photos below to see what our day was like. 

Make sure to check out the Rose Kennedy Greenway on Twitter, they have some awesome events happening there this fall!!

Our newest install at TripAdvisor HQ in Needham MA

At the very beginning of the summer this year we had one of our favorite new installs!! We got to design the new TripAdvisor headquarters located here in MA. We love their fun and diverse style and had so much fun picking out the perfect plants and the perfect containers!! 

Let's start with the reception:

We found owl planters!!

Next let's travel to their main forum with amphitheater style seating. To compliment the very industrial design of the HQ we used stunning Restoration Hardware containers on the stairs. 

And get this.....they have a GAME ROOM!!! It has the very best side tables (that I desperately want!! #havetohavethem) 

Each floor is base off the continents so one floor is the "Americas" another is "the Pacific Islands," just as an example. So for fun and to keep with the theme we wanted to choose plants that were  sinuous to the floors.
