Did you know that having plants can boost the productivity of your office by up to 15%? 🪴

Our maintenance team have been making regular visits to offices to make sure the plants continue to deliver these benefits to staff.

The team handle the intricate things that you wouldn’t need to consider with outdoor plants such as:

🔹 Dust and debris
🔹 Dryness of indoor arid environments
🔹 A much more consistent watering schedule
🔹 Difficult lighting and plant rotation

It is essential that the health of plants is not overlooked so they can continue to uplift the workplace!🌿

Recycling temporary green screens into permanent schemes ♻️

When at Chelsea Flower Show this year, we collaborated with to install jasmine green screens to create a green walkway through the entrance of the event, but as the show was only a few days long, we needed to find a permanent home for them.

We moved the jasmine screens from Chelsea to permanently line a key pedestrian route in that was in need of a green revitalisation.
Giving installations a second life not only reduces waste, but helps bring long-term greening into spaces that need it most 🌿

How can SuDS boost ecosystems? 🌍️

It’s World Environment Day, and a reminder that sustainable drainage can do far more than manage water. In urban environments, we have to get creative with integrating practical infrastructure with nature.

When excavating for SuDS implementation, why not put a rain garden on top? SuDS don’t have to stop at being practical, they can add colour, biodiversity and ecological value to urban spaces.🌸

And if you can’t green outwards, green upwards. Habitat features made from natural materials can provide valuable shelter for pollinators and other wildlife, helping planted spaces establish and boosting ecosystems.

There’s no longer an excuse not to green. We’ve found ways to integrate planting, biodiversity and habitat into necessary infrastructure, proving that we don’t have to choose between nature and functionality. 🌿

We thought we’d do something a little bit different at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show by creating a selfie living wall! 📷️

Year after year, we have handled the main stage planting, creating bold displays for DJs and live music performances. But this time around we also created a stunning backdrop for photo opportunities. The wall was designed with dynamics, structure and texture in mind, featuring larger plants like Hosta Waxy green and smaller clusters of plants like Campanula carpatica ‘Alba’.

Check out TV host, , posing in front of the wall before entering the show alongside some action shots of our team tending to the final details. 🌸

This is what 3 months of SuDS Planting growth looks like 🌿

In High Wycombe, we responded to concerns of widespread floodin at High Crest Academy. We designed 9 timber SuDS planters to capture roof runoff and turn it into growing power for the plants⚡️

Working with kids from the school, we planted up the SuDS features with herbs, flowers, grasses and shrubs and in just 3 months, the planters are already looking so bright and full of life.

SuDS don’t have to look basic to be practical!💧

We’ve been bringing a new lease of life to Amhurst Road in Hackney with interactive and pollinator support features 🌿 🐝

Back in October 2025, we began building out the green corridor. This May, we have installed a range of urban greening add-ons and extras including:

🐞 Bug hotels and habi-stack features
🐝 Bee posts
🐦️ Bird boxes
🪨 Gabion benches
🪧 Educational signage
🌸 Pollinator-friendly planting

These features take Amhurst Road from a newly-emerging green space to an interactive destination, shaping vision of turning the street into an immersive linear park.
How many features can you spot?

This week was National Children’s Gardening Week! Celebrating the joys and benefits of getting our kids stuck into the soil and growing green spaces.🌱

As we’re coming to the end of the half term holiday, our team have been busy installing SuDs and planting spaces in multiple schools across London.

Alongside installing SuDS features into schools, we also run nature workshops to get the kids involved with their green spaces and learn some valuable planting skills, take a look at some of the photos! 🌿

With the climate changing and spaces becoming increasingly urban, its important that we get the next generation in the soil and planting 🌿

Is this our best living wall yet?

If you went to Chelsea Flower show this year, you might’ve seen our living walls around the gardens, on the main stage and on the DJ booth.
Our team worked hard to create our most beautiful RHS living wall yet, complete with vibrant flowers and a diversity of textures.🌸

Working weekends and extended hours, we want to say a huge well done to our installation team and additional staff! The wall looked the best it ever has and we’re so proud to have been back at the show for another year running. 🌿
