This will often lead to queues forming outside premises, and plants can be used to indicate where queues should be formed, and where people should stand.&nbsp; Carefully <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambius.co.uk\/interior\/green-walls\/live-dividers\/\">positioned planters<\/a> can also provide a more welcoming, attractive and engaging way for customers to easily maintain safe social distancing not only while queuing, but also as they navigate walkways and through reception areas.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why not use brightly coloured flowering plants to mark the queue leading to your business? With a wide range of plants and flowers available, plants can be selected that match the colour scheme of your establishment or brand.
