We were proud to be able to provide the planters and plants for a project funded by Staple Hill councillors and Bromford Housing. Our planters take pride of place on Staple Hill high street. When we planted them in 2020 we carefully chose plants that attract pollinators and those that help to reduce emissions from the air, so they have a purpose as well as brightening up the local community space.

We have worked hard to improve the biodiversity on our site, spending a great deal of time to research what will attract new bugs and insects to the area. We are so proud of what we have achieved in such a small time, and are keen to build on this to help the local environment even further.
