Greening project

Urban jungle in Berlin

I am Daria — a plant designer working with offices, apartments, balconies and terraces across Berlin. Every project begins with a visit: I look at how the light moves through the space, how warm or dry the air is, who lives or works there, and what kind of green you actually want around you. From there I plan the planting, source the plants, and care for them as they settle in.

Office greening

Planting plans for studios, agencies, clinics and shops. Specified to the light you actually have, not the catalogue photos.

Apartment greening

A planting plan for your home — chosen for your rooms, your light, your schedule. Delivered, placed, and explained.

Balcony & Terrace

Year-round outdoor planting for Berlin balconies and terraces. Hardy choices that look good in February, not only in June.

Service care

A recurring care contract — I come on a schedule, water, prune, repot, treat, and replace what does not work.

On-site care

A single house call when something is wrong, when you are away, or when you want a second pair of hands before guests arrive.

Diagnostic

I come, I look, I tell you honestly what is going on with each plant and what to do next. No commitment beyond the visit.

Start with a visit.

Every project begins with us meeting. I come over, look at the space — the light, the humidity, the rhythm of your day — and we talk. If you already have plants, I assess them. If you don't, I sketch where to begin. You leave the visit with a plan of action. Write me at d.lvova22@gmail.com and we'll find a date.

Book a diagnostic visit

Things people ask before we begin.

Do you work in homes with pets?

Yes — most of my clients have a cat or a dog. I build planting plans that avoid species toxic to your specific animal, and I place anything risky out of reach. Just tell me who lives with you.
My apartment / office is dark or has no windows — are plants still worth it?

Often yes, but the species list shrinks and we have to be honest about it. For very low light I lean on ZZ plant, sansevieria, aspidistra, pothos and a few others that genuinely tolerate it. In windowless rooms a plant lamp is part of the plan, or we treat plants as rotating guests from a brighter room.
Do you source the plants yourself, or do I need to buy them?

I source them. I work with a handful of nurseries around Berlin and Brandenburg and pick each plant in person — size, shape, health. The plants and pots are billed at cost; you don't pay a markup on them.
How many plants does a 50 m² office need?

Anywhere between 6 and 25, depending on how green you want it to read and how much light you have. A "lightly planted" office is one statement plant per room plus a few small ones. A "lush" office is closer to one plant per 2 m². We decide together at the visit.
What is included in one service-care visit?

Watering, drainage check, pruning and cleaning of leaves, pest inspection, rotating plants towards light, topping up substrate, and a short written note on what I did and what to watch. Repotting and treatment for serious problems are scheduled separately.
