We have a long-term, strategic vision for Cape Town

Our goal is to support partner organisations in their greening efforts. Together, we can contribute to a bigger greening strategy.

We have a unique method to urban greening

We want to let everyone participate, scale our work, but also make sure we plant the right vegetation.
