Tomorrow is St Valentine’s Day – the day that celebrates love. The problem is there were several St Valentines and no one is sure which one the day is attributed to.

Today marks the start of Children’s Mental Health Week, organised by the charity Place2Be. This year’s theme is "This is My Place," a vital reminder that mental well-being isn't just an individual journey—it’s about the environments we create. The goal this year is to support the "systems" around our children (schools, families, and communities) to ensure every young person feels they truly belong.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, finding the perfect gift for your loved one can be a challenge—especially if they’re a houseplant enthusiast! Instead of the traditional bouquet of flowers that wilts in a few days, why not give them a living, growing symbol of your love?

plants@work, the UK’s association for interior landscaping, is proud to reveal its official 25th-anniversary logo. This commemorative brand identity marks a quarter-century of industry leadership, tracing the association’s evolution from its origins as efig in 2001 to its current role as the vanguard of workplace place and biophilic design.

Congratulations Ian Drummond, who has been officially recognised for his extraordinary 40-year contribution to horticulture.  At the recently announced 2025 UK Business Awards, Ian was honoured with the prestigious "Best in Horticulture" title, specifically cited for his excellence in supporting and advancing the houseplant and interior landscaping sector.
