In an increasingly urbanized world, reconnecting people with nature has never been more important. One of the simplest, most effective ways to do this is through plantscaping—the thoughtful integration of plants into interior and exterior spaces. At New Earth Solutions, plantscaping encompasses custom-designed planters for lobbies, office interiors, building entrances, and residential developments. These installations are more of a strategic investment than initially meets the eye – bringing measurable value to the appearance and sustainability of a building.
What Is Plantscaping?
Plantscaping refers to the art and science of designing, installing, and maintaining live plant arrangements in built environments. While many think of indoor plants as just decorative elements, professional plantscaping is much more intentional. It includes selecting appropriate species, designing planters that complement the building’s architecture, and planning for maintenance and seasonal changes.
At New Earth Solutions, our approach includes both interior and exterior planters, often customized to fit a specific aesthetic or function. From lush lobby displays that welcome visitors to sleek, minimalist planters flanking retail entrances, our goal is to make nature an integral part of the urban experience.
The Benefits of Plantscaping in Your Building
Enhanced Aesthetics and First Impressions:
Beautiful greenery instantly enhances a space’s visual appeal. Whether it’s a vibrant seasonal planter outside a storefront or a curated arrangement in a corporate reception area, plants create a warm, inviting atmosphere that elevates brand image and tenant satisfaction.
Support for Green Building Certifications:
Integrating plant features indoors and outdoors can contribute to sustainability goals and building certifications like LEED and WELL. Interior plants help achieve indoor environmental quality credits, while exterior planters contribute to biophilic design principles and green site requirements.
Increased Property Value:
Greenery doesn’t just beautify—it adds value. Well-maintained plantscaping can enhance curb appeal, leading to increased foot traffic, tenant retention, and higher perceived property value. For property managers and real estate developers, this is a smart and cost-effective investment.
Flexibility and Customization
Plantscaping is highly adaptable to your space, whether you’re working with a boutique lobby or a large corporate campus. Customized planters, lighting, irrigation systems, and plant selections allow every installation to be both functional and unique.
Why Are Businesses Opting for Seasonal Planter Swaps?
Exterior planters are often exposed to shifting weather conditions throughout the year, making seasonal planting swaps a smart, visually engaging solution. Businesses can showcase seasonal colours and blooms—spring tulips, summer foliage, autumn gourds, and winter evergreens—keeping their storefront or property entrance fresh and relevant year-round.
Plantscaping is more than a design trend—it’s a strategic investment in the well-being of buildings and the people who use them. Whether through air-purifying indoor arrangements or eye-catching seasonal displays, bringing nature into the built environment offers tangible benefits for businesses, tenants, and the planet.
