Celebrating Plants in the 'Office at Home!'

The long-running ‘Thanks Plants’ consumer campaign by Thejoyofplants.co.uk is being launched today (September 20th). This successful campaign, which is an eye-catching celebration of plants, will particularly focus on the 'office at home' space this year.

In this environment, plants make you more energetic, more relaxed, happier and healthier. For the fourth year running, the key message remains unchanged: you always feel better with plants around you!

Working from Home and Plants
“Thanks plants, for making my house a home, for reconnecting me with nature, and for helping me to relax.” It remains topical, and we will continue to say it: you feel better with plants around you.

This certainly also applies to the (home) office, the hot topic for 2021. Plants can aid concentration and creativity, and bring calm to your workspace, that’s what we’re particularly thanking plants for this year. 

U.K. Campaign 2021

Thejoyofplants.co.uk will be placing a remarkable installation in the concrete jungle near Boxpark in East London. Here, both press and consumers can immerse themselves in a world of plants and experience the effects plants can have on your well-being.

Award Winning Designer

Here too there will be a link with working from home through a collaboration on this installation with award-winning designer DaeWha Kang and Botanist James Wong. Last year the timeslots for visiting the Houseplant Hideout had 'sold out' within a couple of hours. Once again there will be high expectations around attendance, media coverage and videos on social media.
