Our Mission
Green Plants for Green Buildings is committed to informing decision makers about the significant environmental, psychological, health and productivity benefits inherent with including plants in our indoor environment.
Green Plants for Green Buildings is an international initiative, disseminating knowledge of the benefits of plants in a built environment.
Interior plants can produce the same desired environmental effects as many 'green' engineered products at a considerably lower cost. We are dedicated to providing everything you need to learn and apply the many benefits of green plants in green buildings.
In addition to providing visitors with a valuable source of health and environmental information, it is hoped that this site– and our galleries in particular – will help to provide a spark of inspiration when designing the interior of a building.
To implement our educational objectives, Green Plants for Green Buildings engages in a wide variety of communications. From green building trade shows to radio interviews on npr, Green Plants for Green Buildings has committed the last ten years educating and encouraging building professionals to put plants to work as a vital element in sustainability practices.
