Climate change is reshaping how we think about landscapes. Increasingly unpredictable rainfall patterns, hotter summers, and water restrictions are pushing businesses to reconsider the way they design and maintain their grounds. For commercial properties, sustainability isn’t just about looking green, it’s about building resilience.

While August is often about summer holidays and lighter workloads, it’s also the perfect time to prepare for the harsh realities of winter. For commercial property managers, early planning for winter gritting isn’t just a good idea, it’s a vital part of risk management.

In the middle of summer, Christmas might feel a world away. But in the corporate world, the smartest businesses know that festive success is planned months in advance.

I must admit it was a shock to see that Christmas has already taken over the shops….or is it? Our Christmas at Flora-tec starts in January and ticks over throughout the year. I know a friend of mine who has her Christmas shopping done, wrapped and packed away in the loft by mid- March.

For those of you who do not know, Flora-tec has an amazing initiative in place in partnership with the National Offender Management Service (NOMS) and Carillion.

Here we have an interesting article, written by Oliver Heath, “a leading figure in biophilic design. Oliver is working with global modular flooring manufacturer Interface to raise the awareness of the benefits of design inspired by nature. A prominent thinker in the architecture industry and owner of Heath Design Ltd, Oliver is also a writer and TV presenter.”

I can’t believe the variability of the weather….we are in June and it’s supposed to be the start of Summer.

I’ve driven past the same housing development at least once week since it started. It’s been fascinating to see the speed that it’s been built and how they’ve managed the traffic issues around the development.
