What happens when one of the smallest cafés in the world gets a #parklet?

This summer, Meristem delivered a parklet for 3ft6, a community-focused cafe based in Redfield, #Bristol. The café acts as a hub for neighbours and locals to connect and grab a coffee.

How do you uplift an underutilised residential green space?

Our #landscaping work at South Countess Road with Waltham Forest Council brought #raingardens, gabion seating & new pathways together - boosting biodiversity and improving drainage.

We loved bringing to life this brand new nature garden in Maidenhead with @RBWM. With the help of local primary school children and our installation team, we planted a space that focuses on community wellbeing and supports biodiversity! 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 🌿

Autumn tip: Add a layer of mulch 🍂
It protects roots, locks in moisture, and keeps soil healthy through the colder months.
Small step now = stronger growth later.

#SuDS don’t just need to be built - they need to be cared for 🌿 Without maintenance, #raingardens can fail. However with it, they thrive - managing floods, supporting #biodiversity, and creating vibrant spaces.

What can you do when you can’t dig deep enough for a #raingarden? 💧
In cities packed with utilities and hard surfacing, traditional #SuDS can be hard to install. Here’s how we solved that challenge 👇

💧66% of primary and 83% of secondary schools in England are at risk of #flooding.

That’s why pupils across London are planting #SuDS planters and #raingardens - learning how green spaces can protect their playgrounds.

#Climate education that grows 🌍 #FloodActionWeek

It’s #FloodActionWeek 🌧️ Over 4.6 million properties in England are at risk of #surfacewaterflooding - and #flashfloods are now one of London’s biggest threats. We’re delivering greener, smarter solutions like #SuDS to help cities adapt.
