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.

As a new school year begins, teachers and administrators are preparing classrooms to be welcoming, functional, and inspiring spaces for learning. One increasingly popular approach to enhancing the school environment is the use of houseplants and interior landscaping. Beyond their aesthetic value, plants bring a range of proven benefits that support both academic success and overall well-being.
