In this fast developing world filled with high-rise buildings and street walks paved with concrete drowned in the sun, you would assume that the concrete jungle is no place for plants. Urban Planters is a brand that annihilates that stereotype; we design, supply, install, and maintain both indoor and outdoor plants. Our client base consists of people from both domestic and commercial sectors who want to liven up their environment with our green thumb’s magic touch. We are always a step above rivalling companies as we constantly innovate our services, allowing us to offer only the latest specialised care in the industry. Moreover, our scattered franchisees allow faster deployment of specialists to various clients; this saves time and effort for both the client and us.

You will get to operate in a highly lucrative market, alongside the leaders of the industry today. The indoor plant design market is estimated to be worth £200-million every year, and at the same time, Urban Planting produces a turnover that increases a million pounds per year. Franchisees get to combine the untapped market sector, with our specialised skills and business model that has been around for more than 5 decades. Never have to worry about chasing customers; we look after more than 50,000 tropical plants, and our portfolio is very stable with 93% customer retention. Our dedication to quality horticulture has allowed us to bring home multiple business, and service awards through the years. These are just some of the solid reasons why Urban Planters is the next opportunity you’re looking for.

We are a low-cost brand with a typical start-up cost of only £25,000, and a portion of this may be financed through most banks.

We provide an unrivalled turnkey franchisee package that’s tailored to set you up for a stable and financially sound future. Franchisees will participate in our initial training programme that lasts a week and is held at the nearest regional Urban Planters office. The first 6 months of your franchise will be closely monitored by an assigned area manager, they will cooperate in troubleshooting any issues that may rise. Our main goal before ending the training is to create a franchisee that’s NVQ Level 2 in Amenity Horticulture. Overall, you can invest with confidence knowing you have the full support of the franchisor you work with.

If you have good business acumen, the ambition to start your own business, and an interest in mastering horticulture —then we want to work with you! Experience in horticulture is an advantage in becoming a franchisee, but it’s not mandatory. We are looking for individuals who can maintain a solid network of clients, have good communication skills, and can commit to learning our offered services.

The company started operations in 1965 under the name Urban Landscapes limited, with couple Harry and Lilian Morrison as major shareholders and owners. It was only in 1996 when we started expanding through franchising, our name had changed to Urban Planters ltd by then as well.
