Turn outdoor space into a benefit employees actually use
Combining horticultural expertise with nature engagement, we create spaces that stimulate the senses, encourage interaction and help people build a stronger connection with nature.
Our approach delivers employee wellbeing, experience and organisational culture.
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 combines sensory planting, workplace engagement and ongoing maintenance to transform outdoor spaces into meaningful employee benefits. We 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.
Our engagement activities can 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.
“Bee Greener doesn't just create beautiful outdoor spaces, they help employees use them.”
— Bryan O'Connell, Facilities Manager at Sainsbury Wellcome Centre for Neural Circuits and BehaviourProcess for corporate planting schemes to improve employee wellbeing
