Benji’s Plant Care

Every October, somebody in the office gets handed the holiday decorating. Usually with short notice and no budget number.

They ring three companies. Two send a paragraph and a price. One never calls back. Nothing lines up, so the decision ends up being a gut feeling about which email sounded nicer.

So we published ours in full. A decorated interior is $2,397 to $5,042 for the season. A street entrance is $2,208. Design, materials, installation and taking every piece away in January are all inside that.

No second invoice in the new year. Worth a read before you compare quotes.

One timing note: package and colour get confirmed by October 31, a 50% deposit reserves your install date, and those dates fill in the order deposits arrive.

Your reception area says a lot about your firm — before anyone says a word.

For Toronto law firms and financial offices, the right plants signal that your team pays attention to detail. The wrong ones signal neglect.

Summer in Toronto means quieter offices — but your plants still need care while the team is away.

The most common call we get in August? "Our plants looked fine when we left, now they're struggling." It's not summer heat — it's the absence of the usual informal attention.

If your office has reduced summer staffing or planned closures, professional plant maintenance keeps things on track. Your team comes back to green, healthy plants ready to welcome them.

Open-plan offices carry sound. Keyboard clicks, phone calls, ambient conversation — they travel across the floor and chip away at focus all day.

Acoustic panels help. So do plants — and not just as decoration. Dense foliage deflects and absorbs sound waves, and the right placement across a floor can make a real difference in reverberation.

We've put together a guide on which plants work best for acoustic diffusion in Toronto offices:

Strategic plant placement absorbs sound and reduces noise in open-plan Toronto offices. Here's what facility managers need to know.

Heading out for the summer long weekend?

Your office plants are staying behind — and they need a plan.

We put together a practical guide for Toronto offices on how to prep your plants before you go.
