During a walk in "The Village" in Montreal, I stumbled upon a small park. It feels like a magical spot nestled between the buildings.

Kindergarten children dropped seeds in the crack of the sidewalk to see what would happen

In a world inundated with technology and digital distractions, it’s easy to lose sight of the simplicity and charm of nature.

A recent guerrilla gardening experiment by kindergarten children reminds us of nature’s resilience and its ability to flourish in the most improbable spaces.

The children did an experiment in guerrilla gardening by dropping seeds into sidewalk cracks and observing the results. At first glance, it might have appeared to be a fruitless endeavor – what could possibly […]

💡🍃🌳 Exposure to artificial light at night and higher temperatures can extend the growing season of urban plants by up to three weeks. This puts additional strain on the energy and water balance of trees and shrubs that are already under stress. In Europe, leaves sprout particularly earlier than in other global regions.

Just a small amount of trash I cleaned up from a local hike. If you are out on a walk in your area, it only takes a few minutes to make a difference. Obviously educating the morons who litter like this may make a bigger difference - but that will take way longer than a few minutes.

More than 700,000 trees planted in Surrey

More than 700,000 trees have been planted in Surrey as the county council aims for 1.2 million saplings by 2030.

May 8, 2025

"In the past year, Surrey County Council said its initiative had created about 49,000 new trees and #hedgerows.

"This brings the total number of trees planted to 768,832 since 2019 – more than halfway to the county's target of planting one tree for every Surrey resident.

"A range of community projects have been supporting the challenge.

"Meanwhile, an orchard of 10 fruit trees was created at Goldsworth Park Medical Centre in #Woking as part of the #NHSForest scheme, which aims to transform green spaces within healthcare sites to improve health, #wellbeing and #biodiversity.

"Marisa Heath, Surrey County Council's cabinet member for environment, said: 'Trees play a vital role in enhancing the appearance of Surrey's green spaces, while also strengthening our climate resilience.

" 'We couldn't do this alone, so I thank all the partners, communities and residents who support this initiative. I encourage you to continue to do so to achieve our target for the benefit of our communities and future generations to come.' "
