The Future Is This Way

 

I made a pledge to you that Interiorscape is dedicated to helping the industry move forward to a bright tomorrow. I promised we would commit to investing in new and exciting editorial content on cutting-edge diversifications, including interior green walls, green roof gardens and green building certification. And so we have, as you’ll see in this issue.

Folks, I’m very passionate about the opportunities for this wonderful industry to reinvent itself. The days of a-plant-in-a-pot-in-the-corner are far gone - and we will never see them again. Change is in order, and change is exciting indeed!



Here It Is!

This issue, be sure to turn to these trend-forward articles, and watch for more inspiration in issues to come:

"Green Wall Maintenance Fundamentals" - You’ve read about how to install them, now Shane Pliska goes into the special considerations for successful maintenance, including safety matters, maintenance frequency, replacement and rotation and water and nutrition. Build it, maintain it well - and the referrals will come!

"Client’s View: Plants for LEED Points" - Plants are fitting into the LEED picture. Read all about how Ecology and Environment, a Lancaster, NY, environmental consulting, engineering and design firm, received a point toward its Platinum LEED-certified headquarters for indoor plants. The point came in the "innovation" category for the biophilic connection to plant life found in the building. The word is getting out!

"Green Roofs: Getting Started" - Join us in welcoming Jim Mumford, Owner of Good Earth Plants and GreenScaped Buildings, a certified green roofer with more than 30 years of interiorscaping experience, to our editorial pages. Mumford installed his first green roof four years ago, and has accumulated a wealth of knowledge in the specialization since then. In this first-in-series article, he covers the different types of green roofs out there, recommends the professionals to include in your green roof team and describes the process of selling green roofs to your clients. Get on top of the trend now, and be the first in your market to profit from it!

Interiorscape Featured Project: ING Direct Green Wall, Vancouver

Posted: 5/21/2010 10:02:38 AM


ING Direct approached Green Over Grey, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to come up with a planting that would convey two key concepts: ING is not a traditional bank, and it is sustainably minded. The resulting green wall, 4’9"x14’, incorporates 31 species and more than 300 total plants for a lushly modern look.
