Peering into the Future – Learning from the European Experience
This year the Interior Plantscape group is planning a unique Breakfast Meeting that will feature Mr. Robert van Aerts of the Westplant Green Facility. ‘Peering into the Future-Learning from the European Experience’ will enlighten you on different approaches to the use of plants in offices in the past, today and in the future. While there are different products, systems, marketing and maintenance programs in Europe, the challenges of teaching the benefits of plants in the workplace remain the same and Robert will talk about some of the successful strategies that have inspired people to work in the Interior Plantscape industry.
