Climate & environment

One child, one tree

Build a lasting connection between a child and the living world by learning to plant, care and observe.

The purpose

The project follows the full cycle of growing: sowing and cuttings, care over several months, neighbourhood learning gardens and gradual planting using locally grown plants. Community green mentors and family nurseries are part of the planned development. Care and monitoring matter as much as planting.

Within the programme

  • Discover plants suited to the local environment
  • Take part in sowing and planting
  • Learn everyday plant care
  • Monitor plants over time
