September is Irish Heart Month. Perhaps yours is one of the many businesses taking part, encouraging the workforce to get their cardiac muscles into shape by improving their diets and embracing exercise. But habits are entrenched and extremely resilient to change. Plan B? There is a m

Beware the term “Evergreen” when buying an office plant. If you expect this to mean that your plant will stay 100% glorious vibrant green over its life, think again. Ordinary plants can show signs of aging, feeling run down, and drinking/sunbathing to excess like the best

If Mummie Plants had roots we could trace them all the way back to Ancient Egypt. We use mummification processes dating back thousands of years to create our range of super-plants for business. Now the land of the Pharaohs has inspired a new addition to our roster, the preserved Papyr

Did you know? More than half of all known living organisms are insects. Just as well they usually keep to themselves, staying “outside where they belong”. But Summer can change this. At the same time as insect numbers boom and competition for outdoor food sources increases

Mummie Plants are spreading! Our indoor trees have now made it as far north as Norway. Flytoget wanted to create a more relaxing environment for passengers awaiting their high-speed airport train from Oslo Central Station. Our solution (engineered and installed by our Dutch partners):

You are part of a taskforce. Your mission: To turn a regular company into market-leading innovators. How do you go about infusing a workforce with innovative spirit? A good starting point: Stop. Take a look around you. Ask yourself: Does this LOOK like a business that can boldly where

Tomorrow is “Fascination of Plants Day“, a day to remember those times as a child when you traced or rubbed-over leaves, went hunting for berries, chased your friends with sticky goosegrass, or puffed at dandelion clocks. Tomorrow is your chance to rekindle the childhood w

Ahh… St Stephen’s Green. Dublin’s urban oasis. It’s a special place at this time of year as its trees burst back to leaf. The highlight for us: The magnificent Magnolia tree that shades Countess Markievicz in the right hand corner of the park. See it now in ful

We know the best workplace designs inspire well-being, create a sense of belonging and stimulate creativity… If only we had the budget to keep a top architect on retainer. Sadly, Finance are unlikely to sanction a Google-style makeover any time soon. But, there is a way to give

Aaahhh! Spring is (finally) in the air. Which means it’s time for one of our favorite events of the year: The Dublin Orchid Fair. Exotic and evocative, orchids are a marvel of the natural world. Placed indoors, they have an ability to lift a room – along with the people

Hip Hip Hooray for Planet Earth! Today is Earth Day – A chance to show our world your appreciation by doing a little less of something! This year’s ‘party theme’ is Climate Change. Every little thing we all do to reduce our carbon footprint this afternoon can h

Could your office plants be compromising your company’s security? When we consider security threats plants aren’t the first thing to spring to mind. Post Cold-War we don’t imagine them fitted with hidden cameras or listening devices. But plants can be a chink in an organisation’s prot

Tomorrow, April 13th, is Plant Appreciation Day – the plant world’s equivalent of Mother’s Day! A time to stop and think of these wonderful creatures we so often take for granted, a once-a-year opportunity to show our gratitude for all they do for us. Need some last
