Aboutviridis artifex
A project that grew from a simple belief that every green space can become a living system, not just a decoration. As a horticultural engineer, I try to bring together science, design and passion, helping people reconnect with plants, soil and the small creatures that share our spaces.
Whether it’s a single potted plant or a whole garden, the goal is the same, to create balance, beauty and life that lasts, from soil to sanctuary, spaces that nurture life.
Boost your mental well-being
Nature has a measurable impact on how our brains and bodies respond to stress. Exposure to plants and soil helps reduce cortisol levels, steady heart rate, and improve concentration, these aren’t vague claims, but findings supported by environmental psychology and horticultural therapy studies.
Plants offer a form of quiet companionship. Caring for them introduces gentle routines like watering, pruning, repotting, observing new growth. These simple tasks ground you in the present moment, acting like anchors in a fast-paced world. Even just sitting near plants, indoors or outdoors, can help reset overstimulated senses and encourage mindful breathing.
Natural settings give the mind a break from constant screens and artificial noise. The shapes, colors and patterns found in leaves and branches trigger what's known as soft fascination, a mental state that restores focus without demanding effort. Over time, this leads to improved mood, better resilience and a more balanced emotional landscape.
A green space, no matter how small, becomes a daily refuge, a place where your mind can rest and gently re-align itself.
Enhance your space as would nature
Well-designed green spaces do far more than decorate, they actively improve air quality, moderate temperature and support biodiversity. Plants absorb pollutants, release oxygen and create a microclimate that cools and refreshes your environment.
A thoughtful layout, balancing light, soil and plant variety, turns any previously unused corner into a functional, restorative part of daily life, a living filter that gives a calm visual rhythm.
These spaces invite people to slow down, observe and connect, feel part of something alive. Even small plantings can noticeably improve comfort in outdoor and indoor settings whether it’s a balcony, courtyard or shared garden, design rooted in nature creates comfort that lasts.
Create lasting community bonds
Green spaces have a social power that’s easy to overlook. They draw people out of their routines and into shared environments where conversations feel natural and interactions form without pressure. A courtyard with a few well-placed trees, a communal herb garden, or even a set of planters outside an apartment block can become meeting points where residents feel comfortable gathering.
When communities work together to plant, maintain, or simply enjoy green areas, they build a sense of shared responsibility and shared pride. These spaces act as connectors, bridging differences in age, background, or lifestyle through the simple act of caring for living things. The presence of pollinators, birds and small wildlife adds another layer of shared experience, something everyone can observe and appreciate together.
Green spaces also encourage outdoor activity, from spontaneous chats to planned events. Over time, they help shape a neighborhood’s identity, turning it from a collection of homes into a community with a center, a place where relationships grow as naturally as the plants themselves.

Didn't find and answer, no worries you can contact us for any specific question by filling out the form or clicking the button below.
Do you work only locally or can you help also remotely?
Both. I offer in-person visits within a 30 km radius around Brașov, and online sessions via Zoom or Google Meet for clients outside the covered area. Plant consultations and digital designs can be done easily remotely through photos, video calls and detailed questionnaires.
How do I know which service I need?
If you need help taking care of your plants, like watering, repotting, pest issues, or just maintenance while you're away, choose a PLANT CARE PACKAGE.
If you want help designing a space (balcony, garden, office, etc.), go for DIGITAL DESIGN.
If you want to learn, troubleshoot, or just get answers about your plants, book a CONSULTATION.
Do you sell plants or materials?
Yes, but only on a small and meaningful scale. I don’t sell soil, pots, or large plants, the focus is on useful, eco-friendly items that help both your plants and local wildlife thrive.
The store will include small propagation stands (wood and glass), insect hotels, bird nests and feeders and hedgehog shelters, all designed to make your garden or green space more balanced and welcoming. From time to time, I’ll also offer small plant cuttings and mini terrariums perfect for gifting or starting your own propagation experiments.
Everything is built and selected to encourage biodiversity and make plant care a bit more hands-on, fun and educational.
You can explore the collection soon in the STORE section.
Can I combine services?
Yes. Many clients start with a consultation, move to a digital design, and later set up a maintenance plan. Everything’s flexible and connects.
