Extraordinary Extensions All4
By chance we caught an old recording of Extraordinary Extensions originally shown on Channel 4. A gentleman, originally from Sri Lanka, living in Peckham decided to make some extraordinary changes to his home. These included a green wall installed by plants@work member, Biotecture.

Other members' Green Walls

Plants@work member, Green Team Interiors offer a number of screens for the workplace. They say, 'There aren’t many things we would keep from a pandemic but Green Screens are one of them! We designed them with social distancing in mind, but they are still incredibly useful – including being far prettier than any boring office dividers!'
