From interior greenery to a bespoke cherry blossom tree and bench, helping a care home company bring its ideas to life.
Catalyst uses Evergreen Direct for artificial interior trees and planting within its nursing home environments. Our relationship took a creative turn when the company approached us with a lobby area that called for something beyond a standard planting arrangement.
The brief became an opportunity to combine our bespoke artificial tree expertise with a purpose-built bench, creating a distinctive feature for the space.
Reception and lobby areas help set the tone for a care home. They are spaces where residents, visitors and staff arrive, wait and spend time together, so their appearance and practical use both deserve careful consideration.
For this project, Catalyst wanted a solution outside the usual parameters of interior planting. The lobby called for an individual approach, bringing seating and a statement tree into one considered design.
Having already worked with us for interior trees and planting, Catalyst approached our team to explore what we could make.

We built a bespoke bench and artificial cherry blossom tree for the lobby area.
The combination brought a practical seating element together with the decorative character of blossom. It gave the project a clear focal point, with the bench and tree considered as parts of the same feature.
This is where bespoke work comes into its own. Rather than beginning with a fixed product size or a standard arrangement, we can explore the idea behind a space and develop a planting solution around it.
For Catalyst, that meant taking a brief beyond foliage alone and creating something specifically for their lobby.
Artificial trees and planting offer care home operators a practical way to introduce greenery into reception areas, lounges, corridors and communal spaces.
They do not require watering, feeding or pruning, and offer flexibility in areas where natural light may restrict the use of living plants. Regular cleaning and dusting remain part of keeping displays looking their best.
For designers and care home teams, artificial planting also provides scope to choose the shape, scale and style of greenery around an interior scheme. A statement blossom tree creates a different visual effect from a leafy corner tree or a planted room divider, allowing each space to have its own character.
Our work with Catalyst includes interior trees and planting as well as this individual bespoke project.
That ongoing relationship matters to us. As a family-run North Yorkshire business, we value getting to know our commercial customers and understanding how their requirements develop over time.
The cherry blossom tree and bench demonstrate the breadth of that approach: supporting everyday planting requirements while also responding when a customer brings us a more unusual idea.
