Recently took up permanent employment at Berco Indoor Gardens.

What is it we do?

We work together with corporate clients to... improve overall corporate image, conserve energy, increasing staff productivity through increased concentration, improve work environment for staff by reducing absenteeism, reduce noise levels, amid increased oxygen & lower stress levels of all concerned.

The importance of investing in this corporate trend is as key to ensuring success across the board, as not holding back on your marketing budget during these difficult times. 


Here I explain:  




The Benefits of Plants in the working environment: 

PRODUCTIVE STAFF

Research has established that plants have a calming effect, particularly for those sat behind a computer screen for more than 4 hours a day, the knock on benefit is greater concentration and increased productivity by as much as 12%.

REDUCED ABSENTEEISM

Research has proved that complaints of minor ailments, often linked to Sick Building Syndrome (ie headaches, blocked sinuses, dry throats, coughing and skin irritations), decrease by an average of 25%, when there is interior planting.

CLEANER INDOOR AIR

Plants absorb toxins (VOC emissions) through their leaves and their growing medium and emit oxygen for us to breathe. Perfect recycling and environmentally friendly!

IMPROVED HUMIDITY

Plants return well over 90% of all the water we give them back into the atmosphere, raising humidity levels, making us more at ease.

NOISE REDUCTION

Research has found that plants absorb noise on their resilient leaf surfaces therefore stifling noise waves.

LOWER STRESS LEVELS

Studies have shown that the physical signs of stress ie pulse rates and blood pressures were reduced in people working in a planted area.

CONSERVE ENERGY

Plants create their own mini micro-climate around them as they absorb heat, reducing the amount of air conditioning necessary.

We have office all over South Africa, so get in contact and if you are not in the Cape Town area, I will make sure one of our design consultants closer to you will get in contact as soon as it is convenient  for you.
