Initial Contact and Consultation

Reaching out to Plant Plan is a breeze. Whether you’d like to contact us via the website, LinkedIn, phone, or email, our team of experts is on hand to listen and respond.

  • Expertise at Your Fingertips: Upon your initial contact, you're accessing a team rich in experience with interior plant design. With years of experience in the industry, Plant Plan’s designers not only bring artistic flair, but also know how to maximise the beauty and functionality of plants in your workspace.

  • A Tailored Approach: Understanding that each space is unique, Plant Plan doesn't believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether you already have design ideas or require a comprehensive consultation, the team is prepared to work with your specific needs. They can work off existing drawings or visualisations provided by you, or alternatively, offer an on-site visit to walk through and discuss your space in person.

  • Collaboration and Insight: This initial consultation is a collaborative process. It's about understanding your vision, your space's particular needs, and how best to bring that vision to life with the right plants and designs. Plant Plan’s team brings their insight, but they also listen – ensuring that the final design reflects your preferences and requirements.

Planting Design Process

Once the initial contact and consultation are complete, we move into the design phase. This stage turns your vision into a tangible plan for your workspace.

  • Customised Design Solutions: Drawing on their extensive industry experience, our designers craft a planting scheme that is not just visually stunning but also suits the functional requirements of your space. Whether you’re looking to create a tranquil green area to improve staff well-being or to integrate plants for air purification, every aspect is considered.

  • Working with Your Space: Plant Plan's approach is all about complimenting your existing workspace. If you have architectural drawings or visualisations from your office fit-out company, the team can use these as a starting point. Alternatively, an on-site visit offers the opportunity to gauge the space, lighting, and ambiance firsthand, ensuring a design that seamlessly integrates with your environment.<br><br>Explore our Case Studies and the Plant Plan Gallery to see examples of our work and draw inspiration for your project.

Scope and Specification

Following the design phase, Plant Plan delves into the specifics, preparing a comprehensive and detailed project outline and cost breakdown for your project.This step is integral to transforming your design concept into a reality.

  • Detailed Scope and Specification:  Once the design concept is finalised, we prepare a detailed scope and specification document. This document outlines all design elements and offers a detailed breakdown of the costs involved and the specifics of what you'll be receiving. It ensures that you have a clear and comprehensive understanding of exactly what to expect, allowing for precise budgeting and planning. This transparency from the outset ensures there are no surprises, underlining our commitment to clear communication and customer satisfaction in every aspect of the planting design process.

  • Flexible Options to Suit Your Needs:  Understanding that different spaces have different requirements, Plant Plan offers versatile options. You can choose to rent plants, which includes a simple weekly or monthly fee covering maintenance – a stress-free option ensuring your workspace remains vibrant without any hassle. Alternatively, purchasing the plants outright, particularly for items like replica or moss walls that require minimal maintenance is an easy option for long-term cost management.

  • Making an Informed Decision:  Equipped with all the necessary information, you can make a choice that best suits your workspace and budget. Whether it's renting for flexibility and ease of maintenance or purchasing for a more permanent solution, Plant Plan ensures you have all the details to make an informed decision.

Project Management and Installation

After finalising the project outline and cost breakdown, we transition into the project management and installation phase, ensuring that your design vision becomes a reality in your workspace.

They will serve as your first point of contact, guiding you through each step from start to finish. Their role includes coordinating all aspects of the project, ensuring that every detail is meticulously managed.

Whether it's a large-scale installation that spans a few days or a more compact setup, the team is equipped to handle projects of any size. Our skilled professionals are trained in various aspects, including working at height, to guarantee a safe and successful installation.

  • Choosing Your Installation Day: Flexibility is key in the installation process. You can select the day that best suits your schedule, and we will ensure our team is on-site to deliver and install your planting design. Our commitment is to minimise disruption and maximise efficiency, making the process as convenient as possible for you.

    Planting Maintenance and Aftercare

    The final stage in Plant Plan's service is the maintenance and aftercare of the installed plants, a key element in keeping your workspace vibrant and lively.

    • Comprehensive Maintenance Options: Plant Plan offers two primary options for maintaining your plants. If you choose to rent the plants, maintenance is included in the rental fee, providing a hassle-free solution to ensure your plants are always looking their best. Alternatively, if you decide to purchase the plants, you can opt for Plant Plan’s maintenance service or manage the care in-house.

    • Expert Horticultural Care: Plant Plan’s maintenance team consists of professionally trained horticulturists with extensive experience. Their expertise in plant care ensures that your indoor landscape remains healthy and flourishing. Whether you require regular maintenance visits or just occasional check-ups, the team is equipped to provide the necessary care.

Whether it's a completely outsourced service for total peace of mind or a more hands-on approach by your own team, Plant Plan is flexible and accommodating.
