Transforming workplace environments with the power of plants

Since 1988, The Garden Path has been providing pots and plants to offices and workplaces across Sydney. We offer a wide range of office plant hire solutions, from vibrant tropical plants to leafy sub-tropicals and other varieties which are suitable for low light indoor settings.

While a huge number of plants can grow indoors, care is needed to select the right plants for each location. We select plants based on your tastes, how the space is used, and the available natural and artificial light. Once your plants have been installed our staff do the rest – taking care of all watering, fertilising and pruning, and rotating plants with nursery stock as needed.

If you would like a certain plant or selection of plants in your office but your workspace is poorly lit, we can rotate plants on a regular basis to keep them in the best possible condition. Moving plants from your workspace to the nursery and back again is often the best way to keep them looking healthy and lush.

The following examples represent some of the most popular and suitable plants for an indoor environment in Sydney. If you have specific preferences for interior plant rental, please get in touch to discuss your options.
