Nature
Transforming urban spaces to restore nature in cities and secure a liveable planet for future generations.
Too many urban spaces—especially schools and housing estates in London—are covered in concrete, leading to poor air quality, biodiversity loss, and climate challenges. At Growing Green, we turn these overlooked spaces into thriving, biodiverse habitats. We work with schools, estates, and local communities to create wildflower meadows, hedgehog corridors, and nature clubs, bringing nature closer to where people live, learn, and grow.
Whether you're looking to volunteer or need support to green your space, join us in making cities healthier, wilder, and more climate-resilient for generations to come.

We recently hosted a private screening of Wilding—a documentary based on Isabella Tree’s book—for 32 students from our local partner schools, at the Curzon Cinema in Bloomsbury.
The documentary tells the incredible story of the Knepp Estate in Sussex, where over 20 years ago, the owners stopped 400 years of farming, allowing the land to transform from barren agricultural land into a vibrant nature haven. This powerful tale of rewilding sparked some truly exciting conversations about how we can bring nature restoration to our own communities.
It was such an inspiring afternoon, and the film is truly a beacon of hope—offering the students a fresh outlook on the environmental challenges we face and all the ways we can create positive change.
At Growing Green, we believe it’s so important for students to see that real transformation is possible. Who knows—this experience could even inspire some to consider careers focused on driving that very change.
A big thank you to Veolia who sponsored this event!
