Dutch companies and @NBSOManchester – helping create #GreenerCities in the UK

Congratulations to our clients Roxana de Raad and Els Steiger at the Netherlands Business Support Office (NBSO) Manchester, on the successful launch of their Greener Cities initiative in May 2015.

The launch event included presentations from JUB Holland, Van Ebben Tree Nursery, Village Sensations and Mecanoo. There was also a tree planting ceremony in Manchester’s Cathedral Gardens and a demonstration of innovative bulb-planting machinery in Warrington.

We were particularly pleased with the media coverage (based on the press releases we wrote for the launch). You can read some of the articles here:

ProLandscaper Magazine
Landscape Institute
Horticulture Week
The Happy Gardeners
Oh My Gosht – with some great photographs by ‘Eddy’ from the day’s events (look out for the Tree of Heaven and the flower towers).

Thank you.

We’re blogging for charity

We’re using our blogs to raise money for @NelsonsJourney who help children dealing with bereavement – here’s why.

If you like our posts or find them useful or interesting, please donate £5 (or more if you can – the average is £15) to Nelson’s Journey. Donating with JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your money goes direct to the charity, saving the charity time and helping them cut costs.

We are posting this donation button on all our blogs for the next year. We hope to hit our target of £99 by the end of 2015. We will then select a new charity for 2016. If you think this is a good idea – please feel free to copy it and support your favourite charity.

Thank you for your support.
