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.

plants@work is excited to spotlight the Biophilic Design Conference 2025, hosted by the Journal of Biophilic Design. This pivotal event will take place on Monday, 17 November 2025, at Westminster Central Hall, London, from 8:30 AM to 6:30 PM.

Kenneth Freeman, one of the UK’s most respected voices in interior landscaping and plant care, is launching a brand-new series of live and on-demand webinars that started at the end of July. These virtual training sessions are designed to support colleagues across service, operations, design, and specification teams—and are ideal for both individuals and teams looking to upskill with flexibility.

Summer is here, holidays are here! Some of us enjoy sipping long drinks… and some of us enjoy sipping gin — Bombay Sapphire gin, that is! And now, Botanica Nurseries will be enjoying maintaining the vibrant planting at the very heart of its creation.

We’re always proud to highlight the fantastic work of our plants@work members, and The Good Plant Company has recently demonstrated just how impactful thoughtful planting can be — both in the workplace and in the wider community.
