As plants@work celebrates its 25th anniversary, this three-part series explores the 25 houseplants that have played the biggest role in transforming workplaces over the past quarter of a century. Drawn from 25 years of Leaf Awards entries, these are the plants that plants@work members have relied upon to create healthier, happier and more productive working environments across the UK.

For a quarter of a century, plants@work members have been at the forefront of transforming indoor environments across the UK, championing the vital connection between people and nature in the workplace. Over the past 25 years, our members have designed, installed, and maintained countless interior landscapes that turn sterile offices into vibrant, health-boosting ecosystems.

As plants@work celebrates 25 years of representing the interior landscaping industry, Chairman Kenneth Freeman believes the sector is well placed for continued growth—but only if it continues to evolve with changing market demands.

 

It may be summer—but now’s the perfect time to think about Christmas! With just five months to go, early planning is key to making the most of the festive season. Businesses that get ahead of the rush enjoy all the benefits: uplifting staff morale, creating a memorable experience for clients, and adding a magical touch to customer spaces.

Congratulations to Charlotte Connelly and the entire team at Urban Planters on winning Silver Gilt at the RHS Badminton Flower Show 2026. It is time to celebrate a well-deserved victory for “A Pocket for Amphibians".
