We work exclusively with preserved plants that are harvested at peak freshness and meticulously preserved using glycerin (vegetable oil) and food coloring. What this means is that the material we design with, be it moss, fern, or other floral/foliage, are real but no longer living and growing. This allows you to enjoy the beauty of these natural elements, without the hassle and expense of regular maintenance.

COST Cost depends on several factors: Design, moss species, framed vs. borderless, logo etc. Our designs start at $200 per square foot. Keep in mind buying a preserved moss wall is a one-time expense and you can expect your moss wall to last 10+ years with no maintenance involved. In contrast, a living wall - per square foot, you can expect to pay $195 - $265 (pricing may vary) for the initial installation of a living wall. In addition you have the monthly maintenance cost, which for a large office building or hotel can average $500. Living walls require ongoing maintenance and are completely dependent on the proper environment to survive. Living walls require: a light source, irrigation, trimming, pruning, replacement of dead plants, possible mold remediation, fertilizer, etc. to survive. Over a 5 year period this can run close to $50,000. Discover more

‍MENTAL HEALTH A Harvard study found that when we work in green-certified offices, we get a 26% boost in cognition, and 30% fewer sickness related absences.  What's more, respondents also reported a 6% rise in their sleep quality.A Exeter University study found that employees were 15% more productive when working in a 'green' office than their peers in more spartan environments.

‍While moss doesn’t have roots, once preserved, it will continue to draw moisture and airborne particles (including dust) out of the air.  Moss walls can therefore contribute to cleaning indoor air naturally in a sustainable and far more economical way than air purifiers and ventilators.

All of our moss walls are maintenance free and can last 10+ years provided they are not exposed to moisture or direct sunlight. Preserved moss walls are to be enjoyed indoors only.  Some additional steps you can take that will allow your wall to look its absolute best include: Keep out of direct sunlight to preserve the color. Indirect sunlight it fine. Try to keep your moss wall away from heater and AC vents – moss thrives in a more humid environment and close proximity to these units can dry them out. Unlike artificial plants, preserved moss does not have static so dust is minimal, but you can consider an occasional dusting with a compressed air can or blow drier (cool setting) if needed.

We offer an optional service of having your piece professionally hung for you! If your art is small, you can simply hang it as you would any other wall décor. If it involves a tough to reach display area, or it is a large design, we highly recommend leaving it to us to organize the installation for you!
