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’d love to bring Nora and Dora back for another visit this winter!

Nora and Dora, two rescue donkeys from Kentish Town City Farm, came to visit Parliament Hill School for some conservation grazing, much to the delight of the students and teachers who were smitten by the adorable and gentle animals.
Nora and Dora had a great time too, feasting on the lush grass and bucking and jumping for joy when they arrived!
Growing Green is showing that grazing animals aren’t just a part of a healthy landscape: through their grazing and trampling, they help keep dominant species in check and kickstart a more biodiverse flowering grassland.
We also saw firsthand the positive effects animals have on people, with projects like this reaching nearly every student in the school community.
