planting in flood mitigation areas, including, bioswales, wadis and balancing ponds

Climate change is making our rainfall more extreme, flood mitigation is now a priority on many projects.

Good to see plants we provided for bioswale beds in Reading UK are doing well, despite a very wet 2024 and extremely dry summer 2025. 
Note the reduced level of soil in the beds and drain slots in the kerbstones allowing runoff to be collected and seeped into the ground.
Plant roots and other soil biological activity, help break down pollutants in the runoff before they enter the wider environment.
