DESIGNING LANDSCAPES WITH COMMUNITY. FOR COMMUNITY.

Governments and organizations are looking to create greener cities that incorporate healthy environments for a broad range of species beyond humans. Official Community Plans (OCP) are being developed to create communities that are more accountable in the products we use, the plant material we seed and increasing tree canopies.

Research is also providing strong evidence of the positive role green spaces play in our overall health and well-being in a thriving community. Plants can decrease crime, encourage connections in plant outreach programs, provide us with a sense of wonder and some good old fresh air while being visually pleasing.
