Workplaces. Urban spaces. Schools. Your Own Backyard.
“Homes, schools, & workplaces are cut off from nature entirely. That disconnection costs us, in stress, in health, in biodiversity. Ben Porchuk has spent 30 years bringing it back.”
“I could hardly believe I was still in the city—the waterfall drowned out the traffic, pollinators buzzed between flowers, and I felt pure joy just being with every being around me.”
- Marianne S., Toronto, ON Canada
