Restoring Urban Nature
Transforming urban spaces to restore nature in cities and secure a liveable planet for future generations.
Too many urban spaces, like schools in London, are dominated by unused land and concrete, contributing to poor air quality and climate challenges. We transform these spaces, bringing back nature to improve air quality, foster connections with the natural world, and create climate-resilient environment.
We partner with schools, housing estates, and local groups to transform overlooked spaces into thriving, biodiverse habitats. By creating wildflower meadows, hedgehog corridors, and nature clubs, we bring nature closer to where people live, learn, and grow. Our projects aren’t just about planting; they’re about sparking connection—to the earth, to each other, and to the idea that greener spaces create healthier, happier communities for generations to come.

We’re thrilled to share that Growing Green has won the Best Nature Community Garden award from Camden in Bloom for our work on the Whittington Estate!
This recognition highlights the incredible transformation we’ve led on the estate, where we revamped flower beds, planted a variety of pollinator-friendly plants, and created a thriving orchard. We've also introduced berry bushes, providing fresh produce for the community while creating a vibrant, biodiverse environment for local wildlife.
Our team at Growing Green has worked closely with residents and volunteers to bring this vision to life, turning neglected spaces into green havens. This award is a celebration of the collective effort to improve both the environment and the wellbeing of the community.
