Reviving Riduna Park: A Living Landscape by Greener Growth

Watch the full video tour below to see how Greener Growth reimagined a standard office courtyard as a living landscape that benefits both people and wildlife.

From Paved to Pollinator-Friendly

Greener Growth began by reclaiming mere scraps of workshop timber to build charming bug hotels. Strategically placed around the garden, these insect condos provide nesting nooks for solitary bees, ladybirds and lacewings—boosting pollination and adding an artisanal focal point to the space.

A Tapestry of Native Wildflowers

Rather than ornamental bedding plants, the team seeded low-maintenance native wildflowers around raised octagonal beds. Month after month, from spring’s first blooms to late-season asters, the borders hum with activity—attracting bumblebees, hoverflies and butterflies while requiring minimal upkeep.

Water at the Heart of the Garden

No true ecosystem is complete without water. Riduna Park’s inviting pond sustains pondweed, shrimps and other invertebrates, creating a micro-wetland that naturally filters water and entices amphibians. It’s a dynamic balance: the very “weeds” you might pull are the keys to healthy oxygen levels and biological diversity.

Human Well-Being Through Green Design

Beyond ecology, Riduna Park proves how green spaces uplift office culture. Colleagues now choose to eat lunch among flowers and birdsong, reducing stress and sparking creativity. This living laboratory illustrates that sustainable landscaping isn’t just an environmental choice—it’s an investment in people.

Evergreen Lessons for Your Site

  1. Start Small: Even a few upcycled bug hotels or nesting boxes can dramatically increase insect life.
  2. Go Native: Local wildflower mixes deliver year-round color and ecological function without intensive care.
  3. Embrace “Weeds”: Marginal pond plants provide essential habitat and water quality benefits.
  4. Design for People: Place seating near garden “hotspots” to maximize well-being and engagement.
  5. Think Long-Term: Self-seeding plants and maturing trees create an ever-evolving ecosystem.
