No home. office or workspace is complete
without the health and stylistic benefits of living botanicals for peace of
mind, clean air For centuries houseplants have been used to create "living
energy" in homes and workplaces. Plants provide cleaner air, absorb
toxins and dust. By offering sound
dampening qualities, which help to
reduce noise pollution they in turn reduce the distraction of office
conversations and boost creativity. Plantscaping improves the overall
feelings of wellbeing, helps lower blood pressure, increase concentration and improve memory. Studies have found that when living plants are
present indoors: Anxiety levels are lowered. People recover from mental tiredness faster.
Interiors feel spacious, looked after and clean
People occupy rooms more when plants are present.
People perceive interiors as "more expensive"
looking Given a choice, people sit where they can see
plants * (Oxford Brooks University Study )
Greenery can be used as a focal point within spaces, both stimulating
the senses and reminding us of our connection to nature. It is an
important part of interior design. By proximity plantscaping provides a
calming visual to soothe and relax the mind. We are encouraged by this
movement both architects and interior designers are waging to be
inclusive of as many natural elements as possible to mimic nature in
man-made environments. In our hyper-stimulated world, this is an
essential antidote for our well being.
Services we provide: Interior Plant Design and Personal Plant Shopper
We offer full service interior plant design
introducing the beauty and power of plant life to Toronto and the GTA
spaces. We love that plants lift our spirits, connect us with nature, boost
our creativity, provide us with numerous health and mental
benefits all while
cleaning our air. We are here to help throughout the process of selecting
the right plants and planters creating the finishing touch to your interior
design. Plants are living art, and when carefully placed they enhance the
existing aesthetic and bring your space to life. Whether it is for the home or workspace we can
help you decide between the many varieties of plants available. Botanicals
present two main challenges, how
they look in your space and how well they are suited to the space they are
placed in. Plants are living flora, and it is important to understand what
they need to thrive. Light, watering needs, placement in the environment all
need to be taken into consideration before bringing a plant into a space. Selecting the correct plant for the space is
crucial to its ability to thrive. Choosing the right plant for your
lifestyle allows you to properly care for your plant. With our design work
we bridge our love of design with our expert plant knowledge to help green
your space. We provide both residential and commercial Plant
Design Services. Reach out to us if you are ready to add living arrangements
to your space Our design work is perfect for any space that is
ready to combine quality planters with the right plants to
create the perfect living art to compliment your office, home, or retail
space. To minimize our carbon footprint, we hand select high quality plants
from local growers and are thoughtful about our environmental impact as we
are about what plants we choose for you. We handle everything. After our initial
consultation to assess your space and needs, we carefully source planters
that will compliment your space and plants that will not only thrive in your
in your available light but work together with their planter to create
living art. We work closely with our clients to choose
planters that fit your interior aesthetic and we take care of every step of
the process once a design has been approved, from ordering to potting,
delivery, staging, installation with a full plant care guide provided to
help your green space thrive. At The Chocolate Tulip we also work with client's interior designers to
add the finishing green print to your space. From corporate spaces that have
already been designed to accommodate plantscape or home owners whose
designers have selected vessels we are happy to add the finishing touch. Events are another area where botanicals are being encouraged. Consider
plants as centerpieces and giveaways. Longer lasting with a positive impact
on our eco system it is a great alternative.
Many aspects of an eco-conscious lifestyle encourage us to connect with
nature...people who spend more time in green spaces
are known to report feeling less stressed, less aggressive and have an increased
focus

to discuss your needs, dreams and budget. At that time we will asses your

Give us a call and book a consult to see visit
your plants see what their potting needs are and we can either advise you
how to repot and what type of soil mixture is best for your plant or you can
book a follow-up repotting visit and we can change or amend your soil for
you. Spring to early summer is the ideal time to repot
your plants. This can be from amending the soil to changing all the soil and
if needed to upsizing the planter. For those who have the space and move
their plants outdoors for the spring and summer we also provide the service
of changing the soil before you move your plants back in for the winter to
avoid bringing in any surprise guests.

and of course that splash of colour and style. Choosing a plant for a space is as important as
choosing a piece of furniture. It is an integral part of dressing the area
to complete the finished look. Most businesses believe that plants are an
integral part of selling the environment and are prepared to allocate the
space and resources to accommodate them. The bonus is there are other
benefits to our green friends than just beautifying your space.

Green Thumb Assistance
Ahh the one thing everyone forgets when they get
a plant, surprise they both grow and the soil becomes "tired" . Unlike
plants that grow outdoors which benefit from their soil becoming enriched
from mulch and organic matter naturally composting to provide nutrients
indoor plant soil becomes depleted over time. Generally, for plants that
have not outgrown their container the soil needs to be changed every two
years and amended once a year.
Our
plants share our space, that also means we unintentionally bring little pest
in with us that love to find new homes on our plants. It can be as simple as
a pest has hitched a ride on your clothes or the opportunity came through an
open door. We can come in and identify your pest issue and provide
suggestion on how to treat or we can work out a treatment plan to come in
and treat the pests. using only natural non toxic remedies.
