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.

A Sensory Garden in Full Bloom
At Harmood School, we've been busy transforming what was once a bare, bamboo-lined space into a peaceful sensory garden designed with and for the school’s amazing students. It now features a gentle water feature, herbs like mint and thyme to engage the senses, climbing plants, and two seating areas for resting, chatting, or simply taking a moment.
It’s still early days, but what a difference six months can make. Bees and butterflies have already started visiting, using the garden’s flowering plants as a welcome pit stop. From snowdrops in the depths of winter to blooms carrying on through spring and summer, we’ve planted for continuous flowering and biodiversity all year round.
Even more special is how students and teachers have joined in, adding their own touches and helping shape the space. That’s what Growing Green is all about: creating beautiful, biodiverse corners that are truly used and loved by the community around them. Spaces that don’t just look good, but feel good too, and grow more meaningful over time.
We can’t wait to see how this garden continues to evolve in the coming seasons.
