About Us
Urban Regeneration and Cooling
Through education and actions, PlantingSeeds supports biodiversity and mitigating Urban Heat Island impacts.
PlantingSeeds was born out of a need for change as biodiversity is often overlooked in sustainability; we are aiming to change that. Not many people know that our major cities can be ‘biodiversity hotspots’, we work to protect and enhance the natural environment by engaging people in urban areas.
Planting and increasing native vegetation and habitats support biodiversity, urban heat mitigation and threatened pollinators. So, how do we achieve this? By getting our hands dirty….literally.
