1500 bulbs, 60 maintenance visits and one planting session later, Kennington Oval is a bright, vibrant #schoolstreet. Bulb planting sessions with children from a local @lambeth_council school taught them practical planting skills and a sense of pride over their green spaces. 🌿

Just 47% of street trees are considered to be in 'good condition'.🌳 This #nationaltreeweek we've been reflecting on how we can boost this number and support our local canopies. Here are some quick tips on how to look after your neighbourhood trees 👇

68 new street trees, 500m of rain gardens and 140,068kg of major impact!🌳 Take a look at the transformation of our planting project along Sutherland Road. #nationaltreeweek

Urban trees need up to 30m³ of loose soil to thrive. At Markhouse Corner we used Stockholm tree pits to give 4 trees the space, water and oxygen they need while keeping pavements safe and stable. These pits also channel rainwater from nearby surfaces 💧🌱 #NationalTreeWeek

How do we bring trees into even the busiest city spaces?🌳 Our tree planters help trees thrive where traditional pits cannot. Perfect for high streets and dynamic areas, with built-in seating that boosts canopy, biodiversity, and creates welcoming spaces. 🌱 🌆 #TreeWeek

We're celebrating #NationalTreeWeek and our cities' canopies need our attention. Beginning as a response to Dutch Elm Disease but sustained as a celebration of tree-life, this week we'll be sharing insights and ideas to how we can plant and care for trees in our cities🌿
