At Tangletown Gardens, the Minnesota-based IGC is big on the benefits of biophilic design. For the unaware, the goal of biophilic design is to connect people to the environment and incorporate natural elements into building spaces and customers are responding with enthusiasm.

“We like to push the boundaries of design and encourage people to step out of their comfort zone,” says Carolyn Weigel, marketing coordinator.

“Biophilic design is more than just adding plants to indoor spaces. It’s a way to improve people’s mental and physical well-being,” the IGC shared in a Facebook post. Customers at Tangletown Gardens are resonating with this message, and it is clear that green design is here to stay.

Wreaths aren’t just for the holidays! Use feathers, leaves, twigs, branches and pinecones to create a wreath that customers can show off year-round.

Don’t be afraid to play with different types of textures. Here, succulents mixed with wooden elements provide a nice color contrast, while also mirroring the relationship between trees and plants found in nature.

Here, ribbon or plump succulents are incorporated into the wreath, which provides an extra bit of design flair to the wreath’s natural aesthetic.
