Just wanted to let all of our followers know that this is our last post on Twitter/X for the foreseeable future.

Feel free to find us on Facebook, Instagram, and Bluesky though!

Taking care to include species that bloom through the growing season for food and nectar and upright grasses, we provided a well-functioning naturescape with visual interest throughout the winter.

This extensive/semi-intensive green roof was retrofit onto an existing concrete garage and shop.

Set on a sloping site with commanding views of downtown Calgary, it brings the ground plan to the back door inviting nature closer to the main living spaces of the house.

Using a plant pallet of predominately plants native to the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains with adaptive species and contouring with mounds for deeper rooted species, the plant cover provides habitat for birds and invertebrates.

🌳 Paris is voting on turning more of its streets into green, people-friendly spaces—cooling cities, cleaning air, and fostering community.

Democratizing urban planning can inspire innovation and inclusivity. More info: https://t.co/Gu5l9oXjHK

Dear Humanity, #ClimateChange threatens our existence.
If we don't act soon there'll be catastrophic biodiversity loss & untold amounts of human misery.
Time's running out.
Yours,

Act, before action is no longer possible. #ClimateCrisis

Winter Garden Ideas 🐦☃️❄️ Provide Nesting Boxes
What: Install bird, bat, or even hedgehog boxes in sheltered areas of the garden.
Why: Many species, including birds, hedgehogs, and bats, use nesting boxes for shelter and warmth during the colder months.

The Ocean Cleanup program has now removed more than 100,000 kg of plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

The ocean isn't a garbage dump. Protect it.

New year, new colours in Barnet's rain gardens💧🌿

Filled with vibrant blooms and lush greenery, 1300 plants cover over 194m2 including herbaceous perennials and hardy species such as verbena, cornus and crocosmia.

The SuDS are built with walkways and stepping stones brightening up the area while encouraging people to walk through and interact.

An example of nature-based design, the @BarnetCouncil #raingardens not only enhance the local landscape but also help mitigate flooding, resulting in a visually striking and functional #SuDs scheme.

Habitat gardens are great for birds and pollinators.

With a few tweaks, your own backyard garden could bloom next spring and transform into an urban wildlife sanctuary.

Send us a message if you’re interested in having a habitat garden!

“If the bees disappear off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more plants, no more animals, no more man.”

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

Have you noticed any street trees being planted in your area over the past few months? There's a good reason we choose winter to plant our trees ❄️

Trees become dormant in winter giving them more time to focus on root development 💪 and face less stress during the planting process 💆

Bars of soap usually need less packaging than liquid hand-soaps. There are lots of eco-friendly options, made with natural ingredients, and many are plastic-free - so choosing soap bars is one way to reduce plastic pollution.

[Trees for Streets @TreesforStreets]

A tree outside your business could generate more profit 🌳🛍️

Shopping areas with trees are nicer places to be➡️so people spend more time there➡️and then spend more money.

Not only do they add visual benefits, but your business booms too!

[Green T Design @GreenTDesignAB]

This is pretty cool!

Green roofs cover less than 2% of Vancouver’s roofscape, highlighting untapped potential for urban cooling and stormwater benefits. GRIN’s mapping technology can drive green infrastructure adoption across North America, fostering resilience and liveability
