Every year during the third week of September, we celebrate National Indoor Plant Week — a tradition that began in 2007 to raise awareness of the benefits of greenery in our everyday spaces. From boosting air quality and creativity to reducing stress and noise, indoor plants are a vital part of healthy, inspiring environments. Since most of us spend the majority of our day inside (90% of our time is spent indoors, to be exact) this week is a great reminder of just how important plants are to our well-being, both at home and at work.
If you’re looking for a simple way to bring fresh energy to your office, lobby, or workspace, this week is the perfect motivator! Here are a few ways that your team can celebrate:
Refresh Your Greenery
Plants, like people, thrive with care and attention. National Indoor Plant Week is a great time to assess your existing greenery:
Do any plants need replacing?
Could your containers use a style refresh?
Are your plants thriving — or just surviving?
A small refresh can make your space feel brand new again.
Host a Desk Plant Giveaway
Employees love a green companion! Plus, desk plants help us feel closer to nature. Gifting small, easy-to-care-for plants like snake plants or pothos can boost morale and give your team a tangible reminder of your company’s commitment to wellness.
Add Seasonal Living Art
Instead of cut flowers that fade quickly, consider Living Art Arrangements or a mixture of small, low-profile plants. Living Art Arrangements bring color and life to reception desks, conference rooms, and common areas. Plus, they are sustainable and changed out seasonally to always look fresh.
Schedule a CEU talk or Plant Workshop
Invite a plant expert (hey there! 
) to lead a fun plant workshop. It’s a hands-on way to engage employees, strengthen teams, and create something green! For architects, designers, and property managers, we offer biophilic design programs that will allow you to earn continuing education units.
Add Green to a High-Impact Space
Could your office entry, lobby, or breakroom use an update? Consider this the perfect week to reach out to our team about adding something new: a living wall or moss wall, a cluster of freestanding planters, or even a mobile green divider. These green moments can completely transform the mood of a space, and are especially impactful in high traffic areas.
National Indoor Plant Week may only come once a year, but its message lasts far beyond September. It’s about building awareness of how plants improve our lives — from cleaner air to calmer minds and more beautiful spaces in our built environments. Whether it’s refreshing your greenery, adding a splash of seasonal color, or planning something bigger, our team can help make your space thrive.
