Plants: for a greener and healthier Café Maia
Plants are wonderful things. As well as pumping out fresh oxygen for us, they improve our health, boost concentration and keep things peaceful. That's why we love having them around our cafés.
Café Maia can supply you with planting to create a serene and healthy café environment. We’ll send a horticulturalist to visit the proposed site; take light readings and note general conditions. Data will be used to suggest a small number of plants that could thrive within the unit. Plants can be purchased outright, if maintenance is to be carried out by the client, or leased with maintenance on a monthly basis.
Why plant plants?
All that fresh air outdoors is important for our general wellbeing. But when we can't get outside, tropical plants can help to clean the indoor air of harmful toxins – improving our health and boosting our energy levels. In other words, plants can help to maintain a healthy, alert workforce. Many businesses are discovering the importance of the right plants in the right places – creating high demand for professional interior landscape designers.
Latest research proves:
- Plants filter the air, removing carbon dioxide and some of the harmful toxins given off by modern office equipment and synthetic materials.
- Plants produce oxygen, making people more alert; as a result, they work more efficiently.
- Plants make the atmosphere more humid – especially in the winter months when the air is much drier. A dry nose and throat leaves you more susceptible to cold germs. So having plants will reduce common reasons for absenteeism, such as coughs and colds.
- Plants have psychological benefits. We are happier, less stressed and more productive in a greener, more natural environment.
- Plants can help to keep café environments more peaceful as they have acoustic properties that help to reduce noise.
