Sign up to our free Urban Greening CPD

Urban greening is now a vital part of creating successful public spaces. At Meristem Design, we specialise in integrating green infrastructure into the built environment, and our free CPD sessions are designed to share that knowledge in a clear and practical way.

Our lunchtime CPD will give your team the tools to design, install and maintain green infrastructure, with a focus on real-world application and case studies. We also provide practical guidance on incorporating SuDS into your landscaping projects.

What you’ll gain

By completing our CPD session, your team will receive one CPD credit.

We’ll walk you through how green infrastructure can be successfully integrated into urban spaces, using our own projects and data to demonstrate what works. You’ll learn about the benefits of nature-led design, from improving biodiversity and air quality to supporting wellbeing and meeting environmental targets.

We’ll also cover a range of greening systems and where to use them, including SuDS planters, green roofs, parklets and living walls, with a focus on compliance and climate resilience.
