Our approach
We develop practical, local actions to transform urban environments, agricultural fields, and forest areas.
We support individuals, groups, and organisations with planning, sourcing, and planting native species that are locally grown and suited to the planting sites.
We also help to acquire affordable plants, and for members or certain projects, we offer additional financial support.

Our activities
Planting actions
We organise hands-on planting activities in different settings: hedges in farm fields, mixed species in forests and new tree and shrub clusters in urban parcels.
We work with small to large groups – from school classes to corporate teams – and tailor each activity to suit your needs and interests. Want to add something extra? We can include educational content, relaxation elements, team-building activities, and even catering if desired.
Planting usually takes place in spring and autumn, while maintenance and other activities happen year-round.
Ready to get involved?Neophyte swap action
Do you have invasive and non-native (neophyte) plants in your garden? We will give you beautiful native plants in exchange for these!
It’s a simple step to make your outdoor space more vibrant, diverse, and nature-friendly.
Do you have many plants to replace? We gift a limited number of free plants per person. Our members benefit from special advantages as well.
If you’re planning a bigger change, we can provide native species at prices below those of typical garden centres. We’re also happy to help you choose the right species for your space.
Let’s swap plants!
Want to organise a team event, group or school outing?
We can help you to create a tailored opportunity for environmental and community volunteering, with extra options for each situation.
