Let Your Office Environment Thrive - From the Outside In

In today’s competitive corporate landscape, every detail contributes to the way your company is perceived - from your digital presence to your physical space. One often overlooked yet impactful element - the exterior of your office building.
Whether its sleek planters flanking your front entrance, a rooftop garden for breaks and brainstorming, or a shaded courtyard for impromptu meetings, exterior plants enhance the function and beauty of corporate spaces.
Professionally designed and maintained exterior plants do more than beautify—they support brand image, improve employee morale, and show a clear investment in sustainability and wellness. Here's how greenery at the entrance, along walkways, or in rooftop spaces can elevate your corporate environment.

A Strong First Impression

Before a client steps through your lobby doors, your building’s landscape tells a story. Clean, structured planters, modern green walls, and vibrant seasonal color convey professionalism, attention to detail, and a commitment to quality. It’s an effortless yet powerful way to reflect your brand values before a word is spoken.

Boosted Employee Well-being

A thoughtfully designed exterior workspace or green courtyard offers a much-needed break from the office. Access to nature, even in small doses, is proven to reduce stress, increase focus, and support mental health. Encourage walking meetings, outdoor lunches, or solo reflection with inviting planted areas.

Sustainable Business Practices

Green exteriors aren’t just for show—they actively contribute to your building’s environmental performance. Plants help regulate temperature, absorb carbon dioxide, reduce noise pollution, and manage rainwater runoff. Sustainability-conscious clients, partners, and employees take notice.

Enhanced Corporate Identity

Exterior design is part of your branding. Plantscaping can reflect your company’s personality—minimalist and modern, vibrant and creative, or calm and traditional. Incorporating corporate

A Competitive Edge in Recruitment and Retention

Employees and job seekers increasingly value workplace wellness. A beautiful, plant-filled exterior suggests a company that cares about its people and their environment. It’s a small investment that can have a major impact on culture and retention.

Partner with a professional plantscaping team to design, install, and maintain a green environment that supports your business goals—and makes every workday just a little more inspiring.

Incorporating The Pantone 2024 Color Of The Year Into Plant Designs

The 2024 Pantone Color of the Year is Peach Fuzz, a warm and soothing shade of orange that evokes a sense of comfort and optimism. Peach Fuzz is a versatile color that can be used in various settings. One of the best ways to incorporate Peach Fuzz into your business is by adding some plants that complement its hue.

Here are some of the plants that can create a harmonious and cozy atmosphere with Peach Fuzz.

spiky pink and green plants
Dracaena Marginata: This plant has long, thin leaves and slender, woody stems. It can grow up to eight feet tall over time, giving it a tropical appearance.
green plant with spiky pink flower
Bromeliad: This exotic plant has colorful bracts that range from yellow to red. The orange varieties are especially suited for Peach Fuzz, as they add a pop of brightness.
peach succulent plant
Peach Garden Echeveria: A beautiful mixture of peach and green, with very thick leaves, this succulent is a great addition to any arrangement.
peach and green plant with skinny leaves
Stromanthe: Stromanthe has a unique appearance that changes depending on the perspective. The green leaves have white patterns on the upper side, but they reveal a different color on the lower side: a mix of peach, pink and red variegation.

These are just some of the plants that can enhance the beauty and mood of Peach Fuzz.

Let our award-winning Plant Stylists incorporate the Pantone Color of the Year into a design for your space!

The Value of Holiday Decorations

The Value of Holiday Decorations

Holiday decorations are more than just a way to make your company look festive. They are also a way to showcase your company’s branding and boost happiness in the office! Holiday decorations can have a positive impact on your employees’ mood and productivity - while attracting new customers at the same time.

While most people associate traditional colors with holiday decorations, the truth is they are available in a rainbow of colors. With all of the colors available today, it’s easier than ever to find decorations that can match your company’s branding color palette.

According to Forbes.com branding is a vital part of business. Businesses with bright attractive colors are more memorable than those that use neutral, toned-down colors. Keeping that in mind, imagine the impression a lobby decorated for the holidays with the company’s color palette could leave on a potential new customer!

Decorating for the holidays can not only help bring in new business but can also benefit your employees. “Happy employees lead to better customer service and better customer service leads to a more effective holiday season,” says Mercy Mungai in her LinkedIn article.

Studies have shown that looking at bright colors and lights can stimulate the production of dopamine, a neurotransmitter that makes you feel good. Holiday decorations can also trigger happy memories and associations with the season.
Holiday decorations are a way to celebrate the season, showcase your company’s branding and connect with others. Don’t hesitate to decorate your space for the holidays, and enjoy the benefits!

Now's the time to order your 2023 holiday decorations! For more information, please contact us at 800-562-3672 or info@parkerplants.com.

The Benefits of Plants at Schools

The Student-Plant Connection

The Benefits of Plants in Schools

The beginning of the school year is just around the corner for many students in the US. As summer ends, many schools have decided to incorporate plants into classrooms for the upcoming year.

 

Like office plants, having plants in the classroom can offer several benefits to students and educators. Studies have shown that indoor plants can help with improving concentration and can also reduce stress. According to Green Plants For Green Buildings, "Nature may promote learning by improving learners’ attention, levels of stress, self-discipline, interest and enjoyment in learning, and physical activity and fitness." When students’ stress levels are lower, they can be more productive which can lead to better grades.

 

The Student-Plant connection is not only limited to the grade school environment. On college and university campuses, an increasing number of plants and trees are being planted to create outdoor green spaces for students to enjoy. The aesthetically pleasing spaces are meant to help students and professors unwind from the stresses of college life.

Tree-lined sidewalks and communal greens provide shade for students while they study or exercise. They also act as spaces for people to socialize with each other. Physical activity and socializing are proven ways to improve your mood and mental health.

 

Since 2008, The Arbor Day Foundation and Toyota have been recognizing colleges and universities who have gone above and beyond with planting trees on their campuses. This year, the University of Alabama was named “Tree Campus USA” for the 7th consecutive year. The University has more than 12,000 trees on the campus. That comes out to almost three trees per student!

For more information about adding plants to your school or campus, please contact us at 800-562-3672 or info@parkerplants.com.
