What role can #raingardens play on busy high streets? We planted a 20m² rain garden on St Giles High Street, @CamdenCouncil, with 130+ plants & bulbs. Come spring, daffodils will create a vibrant streetside ribbon, improving safety, guiding footfall and managing stormwater 🌼💧
At Flora Gardens Primary, heavy rain was affecting the playground.🌧️ We worked with @LBHFl to install #SuDS planters connected to downpipes, turning runoff into a learning tool 🌱 Running planting workshops, the kids helped build their own green, flood-resilient spaces!
Wildflower turf can bring real benefits to us and our streets 🌼
Working with @yourcroydon on Wellesley Road, we laid wildflower turf to help clean the air, filter rainwater, support biodiversity and brighten up our grey, built urban spaces. 🌱
In a city where 48% of public spaces and 42% of gardens are paved, every pocket of greenery counts. We planted 4 #raingardens along Upper Walthamstow Road in Waltham Forest right outside homes, turning grey corners into biodiverse, welcoming spaces. 🌱💧
We turned a neglected underpass beneath St James Station into a green gateway 🌿 Framed by a bold mural, we planted 163 m² of #raingardens with over 800 plants to bring colour, character and wildlife to the everyday commuter's journey.
Pop-up mobility hubs help active travel reach more places 🚲 Working with CoMoUK, we delivered modular #parklets with bike sharing, seating and greenery across Scotland. Temporary, moveable and bases for community, they make walking and cycling easier 🌿
Pedestrianising @lambeth_council streets with planters🌿 We installed 24 planters along Concert Hall Approach to build out a green corridor and encourage active travel. Paired with benches, these planters invited people to stop, rest and enjoy the iconic South Bank space 🌳
4,000+ plants and 12,000 bulbs planted in just 5 days! 🌷 Our team, along with @CityWestminster have been busy transforming the space in front of Queen’s Park Library into a colourful, accessible canalside complete with ramps, benches, trees and bug hotels. Check out the progress!
A 54.8m² #raingarden featuring 2 planters, stepping logs, a balance beam, and bug hotels! 🐝Delivered with @merton_council, it slows runoff, supports pollinators, and teaches the community how SuDS work, making the street greener, more engaging, and welcoming.
2 #raingardens, 3 gabion benches, 750 plants, timber walkways🌿 We worked with @wfcouncil to deliver a rain garden that works for the community by boosting biodiversity, connecting pedestrian pathways and inviting residents to stop and rest.
Our red #planters at the OXO Tower set the tone for the festive season 🌿🎄 The greenery shapes the space by complementing the Christmas tree installation, bringing colour, biodiversity and a touch of festivity to the iconic riverside landmark.
Subtle changes in small spaces🪴 This residential planting project made use of restricted spaces in the home, adding vertical #houseplants, texture and small decorative potted plants - proving that large structural interventions are not always necessary to brighten up a home 🌿
Just over a year ago we planted the Sutherland Road #raingardens with @wfcouncil. 🌱 🌼 What started out as a community planting day is now a vibrant stretch of green space. Just check out the growth! 🌿 #urbangreening
1500 bulbs, 60 maintenance visits and one planting session later, Kennington Oval is a bright, vibrant #schoolstreet. Bulb planting sessions with children from a local @lambeth_council school taught them practical planting skills and a sense of pride over their green spaces. 🌿
#SuDS school features don't have to be dull.💧 These SuDS Planters that we installed for a school in Pevensey feature bright, interactive features designed to engage children with their green spaces and add a pop of colour to the playground.🌿 🌈
Revitalising a living wall at an Islington residence🌿 Our team worked to redesign and refresh a living wall, choosing a diverse plant mix that adds a variety of colours, textures and shapes to create a visual focal point in the home. #livingwall #greeninfrastructure
Transforming our office spaces with indoor greenery. We brought the outside in at the Simon Kucher office in central London with varied-level planting and air-purifying plants to improve air quality, biodiversity and productivity. #officeplanting
Mobility Hub of the Year! 🏆 Our flagship mobility hub at UWE, Bristol has been awarded the Mobility Hub of the Year at the ciTTi Awards 2025! 🎉 A huge congratulations to our team and a big thank you to all our partners who helped make this possible! @WestofEnglandCA
Tip #1 - Young trees can't handle the heat, it dries up their water reserves and with shallow roots, it only takes one hot spell to kill them. Make sure to water them when the temperatures start rising!
Just 47% of street trees are considered to be in 'good condition'.🌳 This #nationaltreeweek we've been reflecting on how we can boost this number and support our local canopies. Here are some quick tips on how to look after your neighbourhood trees 👇
68 new street trees, 500m of rain gardens and 140,068kg of major impact!🌳 Take a look at the transformation of our planting project along Sutherland Road. #nationaltreeweek
Urban trees need up to 30m³ of loose soil to thrive. At Markhouse Corner we used Stockholm tree pits to give 4 trees the space, water and oxygen they need while keeping pavements safe and stable. These pits also channel rainwater from nearby surfaces 💧🌱 #NationalTreeWeek
How do we bring trees into even the busiest city spaces?🌳 Our tree planters help trees thrive where traditional pits cannot. Perfect for high streets and dynamic areas, with built-in seating that boosts canopy, biodiversity, and creates welcoming spaces. 🌱 🌆 #TreeWeek
We're celebrating #NationalTreeWeek and our cities' canopies need our attention. Beginning as a response to Dutch Elm Disease but sustained as a celebration of tree-life, this week we'll be sharing insights and ideas to how we can plant and care for trees in our cities🌿
Planting on Amhurst Road @hackneycouncil is progressing fast despite the wet weather. The team has powered through with planting, prep and weeding as the #raingardens take shape. New street trees are in, helping build the green corridor between Hackney Downs and Hackney Central.
How do #raingardens transform the public realm? Acting as natural filtration systems #SuDS:
💧 Slow the flow of water
🐝 Support #pollinators
🌿 Improve #airquality
🌸 Add colour & texture
🌱 Reduce pressure on drainage systems

Only 33% of children in England have outdoor lessons (excluding PE) most days. 🌿 Our nature workshops teach kids about plants & biodiversity before getting hands-on with planting 🌱💚 Get in touch & help your students become the next generation of gardeners!
Our team's been busy with autumn maintenance🍂 Clearing leaves, tidying growth and planting bulbs to keep our #raingardens and #planters looking their best for the months ahead.🌿
