Today is the last day of the 4 week investigation I have been carrying out at my fathers office blocks. I am investigating the link between plants and flowers in urban environments such as offices and how they effect social wellbeing of the people working in office conditions. I have delieverd floral arrangements to 3 sets of offices each containing a miminum of 3 staff memebers for a month. This afternoon I will collect the arrangements sadly for the last time and leave a set of questionnaires for the participants to answer regarding their personal experiences of having plants and flowers installed at their office. Looking forward to analysising the answers and seeing whether my hypothesis is correct. I was inspired to conduct this investigation after reading an article in 'Florist &Wholesale Buyer' in 2008/2009 regarding the relaunch of selling plants in florists and how to sell the benefits of plants to customers. Alongside the article was a column about Plants for People, an organisation looking to raise the profile of the humble houseplant and scientifically prove the social, health and econmical benefits of plants in home and office.
