Earlier this month Mall Silks
shipped out numerous custom
hedges and artificial plants
that were used to decorate the
new United Hospital Center in
Bridgeport, WV. The design
phase of the project began last
year when a representative from
an architectural firm contacted
Mall Silks to provide a design
for the built-in planters that
would be used in the space. The
main features of the
installation were the built in
planters on the first and second
floors of the building. The
planters were used as space
dividers in the waiting areas of
the hospital. In addition to
supplying custom artificial
hedges and artificial plants for
the large planters, Mall Silks
supplied 44 containerized
artificial plants as accents in
other areas of the hospital.
The custom hedges for the
project were made using Mall
Silks’ artificial Shady Lady
Olive foliage. This foliage
made a very dense but not
structured hedge. There were
multiple Bamboo, False
Aralia, Ming Aralia,
and Dracaena Marginata
bushes made on natural wood for
the project as well. For filler
and a little added color,
pothos vine and
bromeliads were used. All
materials were either built with
IFR (inherently fire retardant)
foliage, or the foliage was
dipped in a fire retardant
chemical to flame retard all
products used on the project.
All materials were ready and
were shipped on schedule to the
hospital. The installation took
a total of four days to
complete. The client is very
satisfied and the project was a
success.

One of the
plants mentioned in this month’s project
profile is the False Aralia. This
plant is custom-made when it is ordered,
using natural maple wood for the
trunks and artificial False Aralia stems
and leaves. This plant can be made from
small bush forms to plants over 15 ft.
tall. Because of the very detailed
foliage, this plant is very realistic.
Due to the nature of the plant being
very open and airy, it is a great fit
for the current minimalistic design
trend. It does not completely hide or
block other elements that may be behind
it in the space where it is
displayed. The foliage can also be fire
retardant. To order this attractive
plant, please contact us at

It is always a
present design trend to "think outside of the
box"! But now, more than ever, clients want
something different but they do not want
to pay more money for it. One suggestion is to
use familiar materials in new ways. This
month’s project profile showcases a low hedge
form of our Shady Lady Olive tree foliage. This
foliage is usually used to make our Shady Lady
Olive Trees and large hedges. However, it was
used to make short hedges on this project and it
turned out great. They even resemble a small
arboricola plant (a widely used interior
landscape plant). This type of idea can be
implemented into interior spaces when using
other types of materials as well. Anytime you
can think of a slightly different way to use
familiar products, you have come up with a new
idea and you will impress and satisfy your
clients. At Mall Silks, our motto is “If you
can imagine it, we can build it”. If you see
one of our products that you would like to
modify or of you are inspired and want to see if
we can create a totally new product for you,
please let us know. We are always up for the
challenge.
