Interior landscaping has become popular with architects who now include plants in their designs of new shopping centres, office structures and other public areas. In fact they are a feature we expect to see, but what is it that make them such an important feature of modern interior design?

This Learn section serves to provide informative and up-to-date information from credible sources on the benefits of plants and Green Building practices.

New research provides evidence that the value of plants goes far beyond just the visual - plants are actually good for its occupants, creating a healthy environment where people can work, play and relax.

The 2006 launch of the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC) is likely to increase awareness of new sustainable building and design practices, whilst several newly built government buildings are now showcasing these new standards.

The Green Building movement is now global and is fast becoming an invaluable resource for developers as they strive to design and construct buildings that are healthy, sustainable, energy efficient and environmentally-friendly.

Palms Direct embraces sustainable practices and environmental awareness in our community. Membership to the NZGBC and the NZ Sustainable Business Network are just two ways Palms Direct demonstrate its support for a better tomorrow.
