We’re trusted for our integrity, expertise and friendly, professional service.

Planning

We guide projects from first idea to final delivery, combining expertise in planning, heritage and environmental assessment with a deep commitment to collaboration and successful outcomes. Our approach ensures plans are not only sustainable and sensitive to place, but also shaped through meaningful engagement, supporting confident decision-making and long-term value.

Design

Through thoughtful, nature-based design, we deliver sustainable, high-quality landscapes that restore natural systems, enrich communities, stimulate economic regeneration and contribute to a healthier, more resilient environment. From urban spaces to natural landscapes, we collaborate closely with clients, communities, and stakeholders to develop strategies and detailed designs which create places where people and nature thrive.

Environment

We support practical, nature-led solutions that promote biodiversity, climate resilience and long-term stewardship, combining scientific insight with creative thinking. From enhancing habitats and managing green assets to guiding strategic land use, our work is shaped by innovation and collaboration. Across a wide range of sectors, we help clients create ecologically rich, sustainable and well cared-for environments.

Technical & Specialist Support

Our technical services combine environmental expertise with precision and collaboration. We provide robust data, clear analysis and practical solutions to support confident decision-making. From surveying and mapping to environmental modelling and digital tools, including our bespoke HabiTEP habitat assessment platform, our work ensures every project is informed, measurable and aligned with long term environmental goals.

Future Gardeners Celebrates 10 Years of Creating Routes into Green Careers

31 July 2026
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Future Gardeners, Routes into Horticulture and the Natural Environment, an award-winning programme dedicated to helping people access careers in horticulture and the wider green sector. To celebrate this milestone, TEP's Tom Young joined partners, supporters and alumni at the 10 year anniversary event in London to recognise and celebrate the invaluable work it has delivered over the past decade. Established by Bankside Open Spaces Trust and the Worshipful Company of Gardeners in 2016, the programme was designed to open doors into horticulture and the natural environment through practical training, hands-on work experience and valuable industry connections. Over the last 10 years, it has empowered countless participants to gain the skills, confidence and qualifications needed to launch their careers. Today, with more than 80% progressing into further training, apprenticeships or employment, the programme is helping to shape the next generation of horticultural and environmental professionals. Future Gardeners combines hands-on learning with work placements across parks, gardens and green spaces throughout London, giving participants valuable real-world experience alongside accredited training, including City & Guilds qualifications. By covering costs such as travel and equipment, the programme helps remove barriers that can prevent people from accessing opportunities within the sector.
