Located on the beautiful Rose Avenue in North Bethesda, Maryland—just outside Washington, DC—the Canopy by Hilton offers visitors the perfect place to work, socialize, and relax.
The space is accented with local art and furnishings inspired by the charming Pike & Rose neighborhood, a vibrant destination that is home to many well-known boutiques and dining establishments.
The welcoming and lively locale offers the ideal space for a Naturalist (formerly known as Flowerbox Wall Gardens) wall garden.
During the hustle and bustle of the day, visitors and staff can glance up at our “Moss Tranquility Spot” for an instant sense of calm. Spanning the length of two floors, this mesmerizing lobby design depicts an aerial view of the Pike & Rose neighborhood. A revolutionary take on hospitality design, this moss application is more than a simple wall garden.
Our hotel design creates a cohesive space with a consistent green cover that blends seamlessly with the building’s architecture—starting in the lobby and stretching up two stories, making this the largest moss application in the United States.
To create this unique wall art, we used ten different types of preserved moss: flat moss, bun moss, and eight different kinds of colored reindeer moss, giving this lobby design a shot of rejuvenating greenery.
With rapt attention to detail, our in-house team of horticulturists, designers, engineers, and installers ensure the desired customization of our wall garden solutions.
With hospitality design in mind for this particular moss application, we constructed a large retaining structure, utilizing the palette of moss and colors based on the preferences of the client.
The result is a fresh green backdrop interspersed with pops of mint, lavender blue, rose pink, and other vibrant hues that bring a sense of genuine serenity to the busy hotel atmosphere.
We have worked with institutions, architects and landscape designers, retail outlets as well as private homeowners on projects of varying scales, delivering quality and timely solutions for each.
In the architecting of this Leed Certified Project our in-house team of horticulturists, designers, engineers and installers ensure the customization of our Wall Garden solutions with complete attention to details.
For this particular Moss Application, we have constructed a large retaining structure, utilizing the palette of moss and colors based on the design preferences of the client. More specifically, for the creation of this Moss Wall panel we have worked with 10 different moss: Flat Moss, Bun Moss, and so much as 8 different Colored Reindeer Moss.
All perfectly arranged into a “green zone” wall covering 2 floors, becoming a largest Moss Application in the USA. The effects of soothing and meditative quality that this vertical moss garden brings into hotel’s busy environment creates a unique experience.
Our different types of Flat Moss, Bun Moss and the variety of Reindeer Moss colors, give this Hilton an instant rejuvenating green fix. From covering the lobby area with preserved plants to an impactful couple of floors featuring a green wall.
This spectacularly fresh backdrop, a green space, unique in its artistry by being so much more than the sum of its parts, brings a genuine serenity and calmness to the busy hotel atmosphere. You would want to sit next to it just for the astonishing impact of its charm and beauty. It contains sparks of nature’s green magic alluring people to connect to it. See for yourself!

The zero post-installation challenges also contribute to significantly lower expenses for the client.
