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

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

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 📍 Fillebrook Road, Leytonstone @labourstone.bsky.social

73% of households in Somers Town & St Pancras don’t own a car 🚶♀️🚲 That makes it the perfect place for Green Mobility Hubs - spaces that support walking, cycling & public transport while greening the city 🌿 #SuDS #MobilityHubs #RainGardens

We loved bringing to life this brand new nature garden in Maidenhead with @RBWM. With the help of local primary school children and our installation team, we planted a space that focuses on community wellbeing and supports biodiversity! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🌿

Autumn tip: Add a layer of mulch 🍂 It protects roots, locks in moisture, and keeps soil healthy through the colder months. Small step now = stronger growth later. #AutumnGardening #ClimateResilience #MulchTips

#SuDS don’t just need to be built - they need to be cared for 🌿 Without maintenance, #raingardens can fail. However with it, they thrive - managing floods, supporting #biodiversity, and creating vibrant spaces. #FloodActionWeek #ClimateResilience

What can you do when you can’t dig deep enough for a #raingarden? 💧 In cities packed with utilities and hard surfacing, traditional #SuDS can be hard to install. Here’s how we solved that challenge 👇 #FloodResilience #UrbanDesign #GreenInfrastructure

In a city of hard surfaces, nature-based design is transforming London Marvin Street in @hackneycouncil.bsky.social + Kenilworth Green in @mertoncouncil.bsky.social show how grey, impermeable spaces can become green, flood-resilient places💧 #FloodActionWeek #SuDS #RainGardens #TurningTheGreyGreen

💧66% of primary and 83% of secondary schools in England are at risk of #flooding. That’s why pupils across London are planting #SuDS planters and #raingardens - learning how green spaces can protect their playgrounds. #Climate education that grows 🌍 #FloodActionWeek
