20,000 shrubs planted in Swindon Town Centre

We helped to transform a selection of public spaces in Swindon with over 20,000 shrubs that have the ability to absorb carbon.

Transforming Swindon Town Centre

We enjoyed collaborating with Ainsty Timber Marketing on behalf of Swindon Borough Council, providing trees, shrubs, perennial plants and 100 m of instant hedging to enhance a new bus interchange, cycleways and public open spaces.

“The plants were all selected based on their ability to absorb carbon, which contributes to cleaner air in Swindon Town Centre. Shrubs including Cornus sanguinea ‘Midwinter Fire’, a vibrant orange-branched shrub, was chosen for its ability to capture carbon while surviving in dry environmental conditions.”
