Planted Cities

There’s an awesome event coming up in London which you should attend if you can. Planted Cities. It is going to be held in one of London’s greatest regeneration success stories and is run by Deborah Spencer who set up Design Junction, one of the biggest design shows in Europe for the last decade and Sam Peters, former Sunday Times journalist. We speak with Sam, to find out more about it. Planted is all about reconnecting people and spaces with nature to encourage cleaner, greener urban spaces, also showcasing brands who put the environment and nature at the centre of everything they do. They are working our industry lead in this field, Oliver Heath. There will be 3 pillars of the show: Natural Living, Botanical Market and Sustainable Design. It will show that almost any space can be connected to nature. There is a growing market and a growing urgency for the need to reconnect our lives and cities to nature. There are so many challenges in our cities from air, light and noise pollution which can be significantly improved when you have natural habitats, plus there are so many more health benefits having access to green space affords us, as Lockdown globally has proven. Planted is also hoping to be a Zero Waste event, this is really ambitious, and if they pull it off, it will be a benchmark for all events. There are so many positives which will come out of this event, Io suggest you visit their website www.planted-cities.co.uk and register your attendance. Hope to see you there.
