Of course not all cafes and restaurants have the benefit of having a courtyard or outdoor space, but that shouldn’t stop you from implementing some greenery inside. There are a number of companies that hire plants to businesses, they will also maintain them for you and replace them when they start to wilt or die.
And then there are vertical gardens. These can be used both indoors and outdoors. The courtyards of many cafes are often hemmed in by brick walls. A vertical garden can soften this space and help to create a cooler, calmer area. Indoors you can put them against an unused wall or use them to divide spaces – perfect for social distancing tables in this post COVID world.
