Office Plants

The office environment

Plants help to create a healthier, more stable climate in the workplace. Water slowly evaporates through their leaves, helping to raise humidity and counter the drying effects of central heating... they absorb heat and noise... they remove dust and pollutants from the air. And we enjoy looking at them - we all feel better around plants, and that helps improve our performance.

Don't just take our word for it - recent Dutch research among people who work at a computer for more than four hours a day shows that those with plants on or near their desks felt better and were more productive than their plantless colleagues.
