Living Green Wall

Buckingham Greenery was proud to be a part of the Virginia Business Opportunity Fair 2010 held on May 3-4, 2010. Hosted by the Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council in Richmond, the primary goal was to support minority business development and to increase procurement activity.

This year the Buckingham Greenery booth featured a living wall. A living wall, or green wall as it is also referred, can be free-standing with custom-made structure, and is partially or completely covered with plants and, in some cases, soil or an inorganic growing medium.

Our living green wall consisted of:
(from left to right)
1. Aglaonema 'Mystic Marble' - common name Mystic Marble; this is a new variety of Aglaonemas
2. Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' - common name Neon Pothos
3. Neoreglia carolinae – common name Tricolor Bromeliad
4. Epipremnum aureum 'Jade' – common name Jade Pothos
5. Neoreglia carolinae – common name Tricolor Bromeliad
6. Epipremnum aureum 'Neon' - common name Neon Pothos
7. Aglaonema 'Mystic Marble' - common name Mystic Marble; this is a new variety of Aglaonemas

The Benefits of a Living Green Wall

The plants reduce overall temperatures of the building which in turn reduces energy consumption.
A living green wall also helps reduce the affects of Sick Building Syndrome, a combination of ailments associated with an individual's place of work. Live plants act as an air purifier to help regulate air temperature and moisture as well as pulling contaminants from the air.
A building with a living green wall reinforces the Green culture of a company and their initiative for a sustainable, green environment.

Franklin Federal Holiday Testimonial

As usual, everything is beautiful again this year. We think so highly of the quality of work that Buckingham Greenery does. Every year we say we think that particular year is our favorite. The [Christmas] decorations exceed our expectations, which is hard to do because throughout the years you all have set a very high standard for yourselves to top! The installers were neat, professional and moved throughout the building quickly and did what they needed to do. At this point, we couldn't think of having anyone else do our decorations as we are so pleased. I would rate you all a 9 – only because if we gave you a 10 there wouldn't be any leeway for improvement (but the margin for improvement is very small).
