Living vs. Artificial Plants

Updated: Aug 30, 2023

Let’s be clear from the start – at Parker Road, we love all things greenery! Whether it be stunning, lush living plants or the most realistic artificial greenery you’ve ever seen, we believe that each has its own purpose when thoughtfully selected for each individual project.

Whether it's lush living plants or the most realistic artificial greenery you’ve ever seen, we believe that each has its own purpose when thoughtfully selected for each individual project.

According to a study by the University of Sydney, science shows that indoor plants:

  • Reduce indoor air pollution

  • Reduce workplace illness

  • Reduce sick-leave absences

  • Reduce stress and negativity

  • Do not create unhealthy mould problems

  • Raise performance & productivity

  • Improve job satisfaction

  • Enhance business image with potential clients

  • Improve school performance & patient wellbeing

  • Contribute to meeting at least 75% of Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) criteria

Many of these factors can be achieved through the use of living plants, artificial plants or a combination of the two.


The real question here though is why living plants would be selected over artificial plants and vice versa. The short answer is while there’s just *something* about living plants, artificial plants allow us to push the boundaries of greenery design.

Living plantings are the perfect solution for use within office space tambour units where employees can enjoy not only the environment, but the health benefits live plants provide.
