Writing a blog on plants/nature in the workplace. Any space operator want to be featured or have thoughts to contribute?

The blog article will focus on benefits of having greenery in your indoor space. Topics include air quality, noise reduction, physical separation, humidity reduction, decreased depression and other scientific results of having plants around the office. Happy to include any spaces that are at the forefront of this green movement. Can also recommend a vendor for awesome office plants if anyone is interested. Cheers!

At Collective Agency we have a lot of plants at both of our locations. Our two oldest plants that just turned 6 years old are Morgan Treeman and Bark Obama. Earlier this year we had a celebrity puns plant naming. Fernie Sanders was the most popular name. Collective Agency on Instagram: "The votes are in! 15 members voted on this very serious question of plant names. @sara_shepherd led the survey and chose which plants get which names and made this photo. Do you want to volunteer on our Coordinating Council too, or at least see the top names and the beautiful plants? If you're a member, you can! #celebrity #puns #plants #names #plant #celebrities #photogrid #plantsofinstagram #coworking #coworkingspace #portland #pdx #portlandoregon #growing #alive #community #pun" This was the whiteboard during the naming process: Johannes Lichtman on Instagram Then we had a vote with categories for each type of pun name.

Members have always brought in plants and cared for the plants. Recently Sara led our first terrarium-making workshop. Collective Agency on Instagram and Collective Agency on Instagram: "Sara made and brought in a #terrarium There might be a #terrariums #making class here soon. When I came in this morning, it felt like part 2 of Portland summer, and cozy here. P.S. Apparently it rains in the terrarium! -Alex #plant #plants #coworkingspace #happymonday #happy #humans #members #coworking #place #sharedoffice #makeyourown #makeyourownmagic #designlife #portland #oregon #ilikeithere #pdx"
