On Teachers’ Day, we celebrate the vital role educators play in shaping the minds and futures of the next generation. It is also an opportunity to consider the environments in which teachers and students spend so much of their time.

plants@work would like to congratulate Ian Drummond, plants@work Secretary and Ambassador, on receiving yet another accolade during his remarkable 40-year career in horticulture.

To mark our Silver Jubilee, plants@work is bringing members together for a special Conference and Awards Celebration on Thursday, 8 October 2026, at the stunning Glasshouse Collective in Chobham.

It might still feel like summer, but Christmas is now just 100 days away – and if you’re planning a festive transformation for your workplace, hotel, retail space or reception area, now is the time to get started.

In Celebration of the International Day of the Orchid on Thursday, 3rd September, plants@work Ambassador Ian Drummond takes a closer look at his favourite orchids that he has used on projects and events, from fashion shows to the Chelsea Flower Show over the years, including his Signature plant, the Vanda Orchid.
