Shelley Kramer started Creative Environments in 1974, Creating Tropical Paradises with Interior Design Elements specializing in interior plants, trees, floral arrangements and artwork in homes, offices, restaurants, and clothing showrooms in the LA Clothing Mart. Lawyers, Celebrities, entertainment industry.                                                       

I create these tropical paradises and then maintain them with weekly, bi monthly or monthly services including fertilizing, cutting and dusting  leaves. 
I also create floral arrangements for parties, weddings, Graduations, Bas/Bar Mitzvahs, office parties..

In 1978 I was featured on the 6pm NBC News, 2 nights Tuesday and Thursday, (3 mintes each) on the David Horowitz Consumer guidelines show as a Professional Plant Interiorscaper with before and after renditions of how plants can brighten up rooms, see video

In 2003  I was then on TV for the the UK on BBC, Sky 1,as flower and plant Lady to the Stars. Titled "English Chars to the Stars” Show  Service People to the movie stars. Video coming soon.

Sigmund Freud: "Flowers are restful to look at. They have neither emotions or conflicts."

"Plants give fresher air to the environment and something for people to keep their eyes, body and mind busy."

The Plantscape Industry has made many compelling plant benefit claims:


 

    Plants decrease employee stress and enhance productivity by 12%
 
    Plants contribute oxygen in "Green Building" programs
 
    Plants in the workplace help attract and retain today's selective employee
 
    The aesthetic value of plantscaping is the primary ROI for plant investments
 
    Plantscaping helps create energy efficiency without Sick Building Syndrome
 

NASA Research

Over 25 years ago, NASA became aware of the potential indoor air pollution problems in manned space shuttles and space stations.  These concerns culminated in a (2) year research
program aimed at finding out whether plants in a sealed, controlled environment could
eliminate common household and work-related pollutants.

 
    Researchers found that one potted plant per 100 square feet of floor space can help
    clean the air in the average home or office.  In more sophisticated approaches, new
building designs can incorporate plant-filtering systems built into atriums, lobbies and
walkways.
 

According to Dr. William Wolverton, NASA's principal investigator in this research:

 
    "Low levels of chemicals, such as carbon monoxide and formaldehyde, can be removed
    from indoor environments by plant leaves alone, while higher concentrations of
numerous toxic chemicals can be removed by filtering indoor air through the plant
roots surrounded by activated carbon.
 
  The carbon absorbs large quantities of toxic chemicals and retains them until the plant
    roots and associated microorganisms degrade and assimilate these chemicals."
 

Bioregeneration

Bombarded with toxic fumes from carpets, furniture, office cleaning products, and copy
machines, the average employee is inundated with toxic chemicals indoors.

 
    According to the EPA, "Employees who work in buildings of man made materials inhale
    over 300 contaminants every day."
