As we mark Mental Health Awareness Week, 11-17 May 2026, it's a timely opportunity to reflect on the small but powerful ways we can support our mental wellbeing — both at work and in our daily lives. One of the simplest yet most impactful tools? Plants.

As freshwater ponds continue to vanish across the UK landscape at an alarming rate, garden designer Charlotte Connelly is stepping into the breach. At this year’s RHS Badminton Flower Show, 8–12 July 2026,  Urban Planters will showcase A Pocket for Amphibians. This design prioritises the delicate life cycles of frogs, toads, and newts while offering a masterclass in sustainable, small-scale gardening.

The holiday season is a magical time that brings joy, warmth, and a festive atmosphere to workplaces around the world. While it may seem like a distant event, planning ahead is key to creating a truly enchanting experience for your team and visitors. Prebooking your Christmas displays with plants@work members is a savvy move that guarantees an exceptional and stress-free experience.

In today’s visually driven and experience-focused world, the atmosphere around a venue can be just as important as what’s served inside. Whether it's a cosy pub, a bustling café, or a fine-dining restaurant, having plant displays outside your premises is more than just decoration — it's a strategic and sensory decision that enhances your business from the first glance.

From sculpting life-sized Cadillacs out of moss for Sir Elton John to pioneering the "Plantroom" revolution, interior landscaper Ian Drummond has spent four decades proving that plants are not just decor—they are essential infrastructure for the soul.
