join our crew

why work for us?

our strong branding is the first indication that we’re not like any other commercial green infrastructure business.

we’re an inclusive, innovative, forward-thinking and see our family business as playing an integral part in creating a healthier, greener future for the next generation.

no two days are the same at i want plants.  it’s always fun and exciting whichever area of the business you are working in, (custom installations, live green infrastructure or living walls), you could be in manchester on a monday and london on tuesday!

and as our company has grown, so too has the diversity of our products and the needs and aspirations of our clients.  

however, one thing which always stays the same is the powerful and positive impact our project work always leaves behind once we have moved on to our next job.

when you join our fantastic, friendly team, you become an i want plants ambassador.
