We provide commercial plant hire and office plant rental services across Australia and New Zealand, with the capability to support national portfolios and large-scale commercial environments.

How sustainable is your plant hire service?

Sustainability underpins our commercial plant hire and office plant rental approach.

We prioritise durable planter systems, recyclable materials and lifecycle-led design to minimise waste over time. Our servicing model reduces travel through efficient routing, while proactive maintenance supports plant longevity, water efficiency and long-term performance.

Can you support multi-site or national contracts?

Yes. We support multi-site office plant rental and commercial plant hire programmes across corporate portfolios, retail groups and property developments.

Our structured maintenance systems and in-house supply allow us to deliver consistent standards across multiple locations, while tailoring each site to its specific environmental conditions. This ensures brand alignment without compromising plant performance.

Are planters included or customisable?

Yes. Our plant hire solutions include both plants and planters, specified to suit your architecture and interior design intent.

We offer a curated range of commercial-grade planters in various finishes, as well as custom-designed options for branded environments, large-format retail and hospitality spaces. All containers are selected for durability, safety and long-term performance in commercial settings.

Can your plant hire adapt as our office evolves?

Yes. Commercial plant hire is designed to be flexible. As your workplace layout, branding or occupancy changes, we can adjust your planting scheme to suit, ensuring your greenery continues to complement your space and support performance over time.

Is plant hire more cost-effective than purchasing plants?

Plant hire removes upfront capital investment and reduces long-term risk. Installation, replacements, seasonal refreshes and maintenance are all included, ensuring consistent visual impact without unexpected costs or internal workload.

What happens if a plant underperforms or fails?

As part of our commercial indoor plant hire service, any plant that declines or underperforms is replaced promptly under our Happy Plant Guarantee.

Because we grow and condition plants in our own nurseries, we can respond quickly and maintain visual consistency across your space. Your office plant rental should never look tired, sparse or neglected, replacement is built into the service.

How often are plants serviced?

Our commercial plant hire and office plant rental services include scheduled maintenance visits tailored to your environment. Most workplaces are serviced on a fortnightly basis, though frequency is adjusted depending on plant type, light levels and occupancy.

Each visit includes watering, feeding, pruning, cleaning, pest management and presentation detailing. Our technicians proactively monitor plant health to ensure your greenery performs consistently and remains aligned with your brand standards.

How do you select plants for commercial indoor plant hire?

Every plant is selected specifically for its environment. We assess light levels, airflow, foot traffic and design intent before specifying plant species and custom planters. Our in-house nurseries allow us to supply resilient, well-conditioned plants suited for long-term commercial indoor performance.

How does office plant rental benefit my workplace?

Office plant rental enhances workplace wellbeing, softens architectural lines and improves atmosphere without adding operational burden. Professionally maintained greenery supports focus, comfort and brand perception while removing the responsibility of plant ownership from your team.

What is included in your commercial plant hire service?

Our commercial plant hire service includes design consultation, plant supply, professional installation and ongoing maintenance. Regular technician visits cover watering, feeding, pruning, cleaning and integrated pest management. We also replace any underperforming plants as part of our Happy Plant Guarantee, ensuring your office plant rental remains healthy and consistently presented year-round.

How can special projects contribute to green building certification?

Our planting systems are designed with sustainability and lifecycle performance in mind. We support projects pursuing green building certification through responsible material selection, efficient servicing models and environmentally considered design.

How do you ensure complex installations perform long term?

Every project is engineered for durability and resilience. We design custom hardware, integrated irrigation and structurally sound planting systems to ensure ambitious concepts remain healthy and visually consistent over time.

Do you create bespoke planters or hardware?

Yes. Our in-house fabrication and engineering teams design and manufacture custom planters, supporting structures and integrated greenery systems tailored to each project’s aesthetic and technical requirements.

How early should we involve you in a project?

The earlier the better. Early engagement allows us to influence feasibility, structural integration, irrigation design and plant selection — reducing risk and strengthening project outcomes.

Can you work with our architects, designers or contractors?

Absolutely. We collaborate closely with architects, interior designers, developers and construction teams, providing clear documentation, technical drawings and coordinated delivery throughout the project lifecycle.

Do you work internationally?

Yes. While we’re based in New Zealand and Australia, we deliver special projects globally. We manage specification, logistics and installation in partnership with trusted delivery teams worldwide.

Do you manage special projects end to end?

Yes. From concept development and technical coordination through to installation and ongoing support, we manage projects in-house. Our multidisciplinary expertise across design, horticulture and engineering ensures each solution is both visionary and buildable.

What qualifies as a “special project”?

Special projects are one-off, high-impact installations that require bespoke design, engineering or logistics. These are typically complex, large-scale or highly customised greenery installations that go beyond standard plant hire or maintenance.

How do you choose the right plants for a project?

We consider light levels, space use, traffic flow, maintenance requirements and the character of the architecture. Our horticultural specialists select species that will thrive in the environment and meet your design goals.

Can greenery improve acoustics or air quality?

Yes. Plants and natural materials can soften sound, create acoustic comfort and help moderate indoor air conditions. These benefits contribute to calmer, healthier environments.

Do you provide fully bespoke designs?

Absolutely. Every project is custom from the ground up, floor plans, planting schemes and greenery panels are all designed specifically for your space, rather than using one-size-fits-all solutions.

How does greenery improve retail environments?

Plants create welcoming, human-centred spaces that encourage customers to linger longer, engage more deeply and connect with the brand. They can guide circulation, highlight focal points and reduce sensory overload in large-format stores.

Can greenery be used effectively in healthcare and aged care environments?

Yes. Natural elements support healing, reduce stress and improve emotional and cognitive wellbeing. Thoughtfully designed greenery can help create restorative, dignified and uplifting environments for patients, residents and staff.

How does greenery enhance hotels and hospitality spaces?

Plants soften arrival experiences, enrich lobbies and suites, and create sensory moments that help guests relax and feel at ease. Biophilic elements can support better sleep, reduce stress and make stays feel more memorable and connected to place.

What greenery solutions are suitable for high-traffic public spaces like airports or train stations?

Durable, low-maintenance systems such as engineered green walls, overhead planting and structural planters are ideal. These bring warmth and identity to busy environments while supporting wellbeing and creating memorable moments of calm.

Do you work with large commercial interiors?

Yes. Our team specialises in large-format workplaces, retail centres, hotels and public buildings. We use innovative planting systems to integrate greenery seamlessly into expansive architectural volumes, improving wayfinding, acoustics and overall experience.

How do you incorporate greenery into small offices or compact areas?

We use targeted planting, custom greenery panels and efficient floor, wall and ceiling-mounted systems that maximise impact without taking up valuable space. Thoughtful placement can make even the smallest offices feel more open, calm and inviting.

What types of spaces can benefit from greenery design?

Almost any space. We design for workplaces, retail stores, hotels, hospitality venues, public spaces, healthcare environments, aged care, lobbies and atriums. Each project is tailored to the scale, function and architectural character of the space.

What is greenery design and why does it matter?

Greenery design is the thoughtful integration of plants into interior spaces to enhance wellbeing, improve aesthetics and contribute to healthier, more human environments. When grounded in biophilic design principles, it can reduce stress, support focus, improve air quality and create spaces that feel welcoming and alive.

Do you have dedicated designers regionally?

Yes, we have designers in every major city to ensure our team works closely with clients in every region.
