What you're buying
Four reasons clients choose us.
Plants are the medium. What you're paying for is the four things below.
- 01
Free marketing content
Hospitality installs generate ~$3,000/mo in customer photos, tagged stories and organic mentions — measured across our 12-year Florida portfolio.
- 02
First-90-seconds impact
Guests decide if they're coming back before they sit down. The space closes that decision faster than the menu or the service.
- 03
No real competition in Florida
South Florida is the only major US market without a serious biophilic-design studio in hospitality. The category is open.
- 04
Maintenance included
Bi-weekly visits, same-day plant replacement, photo-ready year-round. We don't accept commercial installs without a maintenance contract.

Preserved moss vs. living moss — what we use, when, and why
Preserved (stabilised) moss looks alive but never grows, drinks or dies. Living moss grows, drinks, and needs a specific climate. Here is the practical engineering and design difference, with notes on cost, longevity, and provenance.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is biophilic design?
Biophilic design is the practice of incorporating natural elements — plants, light, water, natural materials — into interior spaces to support human wellbeing. The framework rests on forty years of peer-reviewed research, from Roger Ulrich's 1984 hospital window study to Terrapin Bright Green's 14 Patterns of Biophilic Design.
Where do you provide service?
Our flagship is at Town Center Mall in Boca Raton, FL. We service all of Palm Beach County (Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach, Highland Beach, Parkland, West Palm Beach) and extended service to Broward and Miami-Dade (Fort Lauderdale, Aventura, Miami). One-time installations outside these areas are quoted case-by-case.
How much does a biophilic installation cost?
Commercial and residential installs typically range from $3,000 (a single statement specimen with planter) to $15,000+ (full lobby or whole-home brief). On top of the install, we attach a monthly maintenance plan from $200/mo to $1,200/mo depending on visit frequency. Every quote includes the design, the install, the first month's care and a staff brief — no hidden line items.
Do you maintain the plants after install?
Yes. Every Florida and Costa Rica install includes the option of recurring maintenance — bi-weekly for hospitality and healthcare, monthly for residential. We do not accept installs without a maintenance plan because under-maintained plants undermine the whole point of biophilic design.
What's the difference between preserved and living moss?
Preserved moss is real moss that has been stabilised with a glycerine bath — it never grows, drinks or dies, and lasts 10–15 years. Living moss is alive and requires sustained 70%+ humidity, dappled light and reverse-osmosis water. Most of our Studio Editions and clinic installs use preserved; large corporate lobbies sometimes use living. Read the full breakdown in our [Journal](/journal/preserved-moss-vs-living/).
How long does a project take from first call to install?
Residential: 2–4 weeks from signed brief to install. Commercial (hotel, clinic, office): 4–8 weeks, depending on plant sourcing and custom planter fabrication. We tell you the timeline at the first walkthrough.
