harding botanicals
There are so many wonderful and inspiring artist in this world. They bring beauty and invoke different feelings from all of us. Right now I am loving looking at all the outdoor art installations that really make us take a second look at nature and it's ever lasting beauty.
What do you think of these works of art?! Would you want any of these in your neighborhood or yard?? To see more works of Exterior Art check out our Pinterest board Outdoor Art Installations
Working in Boston gives us the opportunity to work in some AMAZING & innovative office spaces and with AMAZING property managers & designers. This install was for Aquent Boston, they have designed their office spaces to be inspiring and creative. Take a look at the different plants that we used in these awesome containers; while being in the same container each grouping gives a different feel to each location.
Not only did Harding Botanicals attend TPIE this winter, we also got to venture the halls of the Dallas Market Center! We spent a few days in glitter filled rooms picking out our favorite ornaments and sprays, chatting with sales reps about their new lines, and viewing the upcoming trends for the 2016 Holiday season. Take a look at some of the new emerging designs for this year.
1. Metallics: we are SO excited about this one! We LOVE metallics and the idea of a fully monochromatic design!
2. Frosty Blue and White: This color scheme first appeared last year in 2014/2015 with the ever popular Frozen movie, but this year they have really outdone themselves with revamping the design and making it so much more elegant.
3. Rose Quartz: This is a new color on the market this year, it's a light gold/light pink color. They have paired it up with champagne, silver, and pearl. What are your thoughts on this new design?
4. Rustics: This is a trend that has been around for a while. We love how comfy cozy this look is. The rustic look uses neutral tones and very country and "homey" ornaments.
Upon returning we have been inspired by all that we saw and have come up with some of our own designs! We can't to get started putting our ideas into reality and creating some new and fresh stuff for our clients!
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!!
Annually every 3rd week in September marks National Indoor plant Week! We love this week because it showcases some of our favorite things: PLANTS!! This week is to remind us all of how important plants are to our happiness and even our survival! What are the benefits of indoor plants you ask?! Well let me inform you:
1. Purifies the air we breath: Plants break down chemical components found in industrial glues and paints and remove other pollutants from the air.
2. Noise reduction: Reduces distractions and makes it much easier to concentrate
3. Creates Oxygen!!
4. Connects us with the Outdoors: Plants in the work-space give a sense of connection with nature (something that you miss when you are inside all day, especially in the winter time!)
5. Ease tension: Plants moderate temperatures, increase relative humidity, and can personalize an office space.
And soooo much more!!
Last year to celebrate this week we were on the streets of Boston handing out plants to passerby's to bring a little life to the office desks! Guess what?!?! We will be doing the same thing again this year! We had so much fun with it last year that we knew that we had to celebrate the same way this year.
SOOOOOOOOO come find us on Tuesday September 15, 2015 on the Rose Kennedy Greenway at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and East India Row from 10:30am till all our plants are gone! Looking forward to seeing you there!
