What we do
Everyone’s increasingly aware of the urgent need to address climate change and biodiversity loss. Plant Up is here to support positive actions, helping communities create practical, locally led projects that are good for the environment and great for bringing people together.
Our projects include community gardens, rain gardens, pollinator habitats, and climate-resilient planting schemes. From brownfield sites to housing estates, street-scapes and shared green spaces - each project is shaped by its place, its history, the people who use it, and the wildlife it can support.
