Details Make Me Smile

So Easy. A Nice Detail. Photo of potted plants sitting in sunshine.

The sunny alcove housed an unexpected treasure.

A plant library!

Yesterday I toured my first potential coworking space.

  • The 777 BrightWorks Coworking in Ann Arbor.
  • It was a lovely office setting.
  • With an unexpected feature – a plant library!

 

It is perfect for someone like me – with a thumb that is more black than green.

The library features a variety of small plants in cute containers.


Coworkers can check them out for up to five days.

  • Add some green to their office space.
  • And don’t have to water them!
  • Just return at the end of their desk visit.


When returned, you stick a sign in the plant pot that says:


“Shhh…I’m on Plant PTO!

I just wrapped up a week of desk duty
And need a little R&R.

Please don’t check me out right now – I’m recharging my chlorophyll.

Be back soon, better than ever.

With Love, Your friendly foliage”


Here’s what I got about the coworking space from this simple, yet interesting plant library.

  • They care about their coworkers.
  • They pay attention to details.
  • They are creative.


I’m not sure if the coworking space vibe has enough energy for me or not – but the plant library definitely has me intrigued!


Makes me think of people who want to build their confidence and networking skills…what do your details say about you?
