🌱 The Science of Biophilia

Studies across psychology, neuroscience, and environmental design confirm what many of us feel instinctively: being around greenery makes us feel better. Here's how:

  • Reduces Stress: Just three minutes of looking at greenery can lower blood pressure and heart rate.

  • Boosts Productivity: Office spaces with plants show a 15% rise in employee productivity.

  • Elevates Mood: Exposure to indoor plants reduces anxiety, fatigue, and feelings of depression.

  • Enhances Creativity: Green elements trigger relaxed alertness, unlocking fresh ideas and deeper focus.

🌼 Real Stories from Real People

Through our Stress Mastery workshops and Green Workspace Design projects, we’ve witnessed the magic of biophilia first-hand. Here are a few voices from those who’ve experienced it:

“I never imagined a single corner with a Peace Lily and soft green lights could change my work-from-home mood so much. I smile more often now.”
Sandeep, Corporate Workshop Attendee

“After introducing the mini pot garden on our team’s desk cluster, I noticed a calm in the room. Even in heated meetings, the tone has shifted.”
Ritika, HR Manager, Bangalore

“I joined the workshop out of curiosity and came out with a sense of stillness I hadn’t felt in months. Touch Green truly brings peace into busy lives.”
Meera, Startup Founder
