Make a change with greenery.
In environmental psychology being surrounded by nature is known to induce relaxation and boost moods. We can achieve this in your backyard, your office courtyard or amenity spaces. A change of scenery goes a long way to healthier and happier habitats for all.
Things to Consider
- Are you interested in seasonal planters or in ground planting?
- Do you have an aesthetic in mind, or can we create a design plan for you?
- Will you or GINKGO maintain the landscaping?
- What are the climate, soil and light conditions where we will be planting?
- Would you like us to recommend, source and purchase the containers and planters?
- Curb appeal.
- Increases property value.
- Invites biodiversity to your grounds.
- Natural additions are known to have a calming effect and enhance our overall well-being.
How much should I budget?
We can work with budgets of all sizes, so if you know what you can allocate, we will estimate based on your needs.
Do my planters need to be changed depending on the season?
Yes. If you would like to have your planters blooming in all seasons we can design, plant and maintain them quarterly. Most plants and flowers are season specific, like tulips and snowdrops in the spring, chrysanthemums in the fall, and winterberries because they all adapt, or don’t, to certain climates. We also consider that not all plants like to co-exist in the same pot, so when their watering and light sensitivities are different, we won’t plant them together.
With grounds, we typically design using plants that bloom at different times based on the light and heat available in the season. This provides staggered blasts of colours and extends your enjoyment.
Do you provide the plants, or do I need to buy them, and you plant them?
We take care of everything. We have long standing partnerships with nurseries that supply our products, and as horticulturists they ensure the plants we receive have been well tended to. GINKGO also has an in-house growing room where we cut, seed and propagate a range of varietals.
