Award: Gold Leaf Award 

A fresh biophilic look transforms the workplace

Urban Planters has been awarded a Gold Leaf Award for its design and installation project at Garrett Support Services Ltd, where a varied combination of living plants, replica planting, foliage walls and moss has brought a fresh look and feel to the office.

The client already had a good selection of plants but wanted to build on this, creating a more inviting workplace with a stronger connection to nature. The brief was to refresh the existing interiors and introduce a wider range of displays, textures and finishes throughout the office.

Initial discussions began in April 2025, when Urban Planters started working with the client to develop their vision. The client shared images of the styles and displays they liked, and the team explored different options, providing quotations for a range of ideas. Some were taken forward, while others were refined or set aside as the scheme developed.

By August 2025, the final design had come together. The result was a coordinated scheme that retained and enhanced selected existing features while introducing new planters, replica hanging displays, foliage wall panels and moss.

The reception area was given a new lease of life by combining existing features with carefully chosen additions. The existing GRP planter and impressive five-metre Ficus Amstel King were retained, alongside the silver BAQ Opus Raw Couple planters containing Beaucarnea plants.

To complement these, Urban Planters introduced additional BAQ Opus Raw Couple planters in gold, together with Capi Groove planters in gold and anthracite. Arranged in groups of three and pairs, the planters created a more contemporary display, adding contrast, texture and visual interest while making better use of the available space.

By the lifts, an existing three-dimensional shelving unit had become dated. Rather than leaving this feature unchanged, Urban Planters refreshed the area with replica foliage wall panels, creating a more modern, plant-inspired focal point.

The collaboration table was also enhanced with replica plants and moss, introducing natural-looking textures to a shared working area. Throughout the office, existing planters were replaced with Capi Groove designs, bringing a consistent new finish and a greater sense of cohesion to the overall scheme.

The completed installation combines living plants with high-quality replica planting, foliage panels and moss to create interest in different parts of the workplace. By working with the client's original ideas and selecting displays suited to each area, Urban Planters delivered a scheme that builds on what was already there rather than starting from scratch.

The project demonstrates how a thoughtful combination of plants, planters and foliage features can refresh an established office interior, creating a more welcoming environment for the people who use it every day.
