Outdoor space is a tangible benefit, but only when it’s used

A roof terrace or courtyard has the potential to be far more than an attractive feature.

Spending time in nature is widely recognised for its positive impact on wellbeing, but research shows the greatest benefits come when people actively engage with the natural environment.

Bee Greener uses outdoor space to deliver employee wellbeing, experience and organisational culture using planting as medium. We can either work with existing teams or use our own experts to create environments that stimulate the senses through colour, scent, texture, movement and taste, encouraging employees to spend more time outdoors and develop a stronger connection with nature.

What makes our approach different is that we involve employees throughout the journey.

By combining horticultural expertise with employee communications and nature engagement, we encourage greater participation, ownership and long-term use of the space. This not only enhances wellbeing outcomes but also provides valuable insight into how people want to use outdoor environments, helping organisations make more informed investment decisions.

Nature engagement for employees

Our engagement activities include:

• In-person planting and design briefings

• ‘Adopt a Plant’ programmes

• Seasonal nature and wellbeing campaigns

• Drawing and creative workshops

• Awareness days, such as National Bee Day

• Edible planting and herb garden initiatives

From sensory roof terraces and workplace courtyards to productive herb gardens, we design, plant and maintain outdoor spaces that deliver measurable benefits for employee wellbeing, engagement and workplace experience.

Complimentary Review of your existing terrace

The question we typically ask is not 'How does the terrace look?' but 'How much value is it creating for occupiers?'"

We're not looking to replace your existing horticultural and maintenance suppliers. Our work often starts after the planting is in place—helping outdoor spaces become more valued, more used and more beneficial for occupiers.

We can provide a complimentary review of your existing terrace and identify three practical opportunities to increase occupier engagement, biodiversity and perceived amenity value.
