Growing Programs
Growing Trees for the Future our Region
Programs and services that support seed collection, propagation, native species production, and community learning.
About Our Grow Programs
ReForest London grows native trees from seed to support planting across the city. Through the Community Tree Nursery and Seed Hub, volunteers and staff collect seeds, propagate seedlings, and prepare young trees for planting in parks, neighbourhoods, schoolyards, and natural areas. These programs strengthen biodiversity, support climate resilience, and ensure a sustainable supply of native trees for London.
Community Tree Nursery
The Community Tree Nursery grows native trees from seed for planting across London. Volunteers help with seed collection, propagation, watering, and seasonal care. The nursery is located at the Westminster Ponds Centre, London’s Gateway to Nature.
Seed Hub
The Seed Hub is where collected seeds, cleaned, sorted, stored, and prepared for propagation. It supports species identification, seed tracking, and seasonal planning. The Seed Hub also offers workshops and learning opportunities for volunteers, students, and community groups.
Bulk Seedling Orders
Bulk seedling orders are available for municipalities, developers, restoration partners, and community organizations. Seedlings are grown from locally sourced native seed and prepared for planting in large-scale projects.
Tree Sales
Seasonal tree sales provide residents and community groups with access to native trees grown at the nursery. These sales support backyard planting, neighbourhood greening, and community-led environmental projects.
Why Growing Trees Matters
Growing trees from seed supports biodiversity, strengthens ecological resilience, and ensures that native species thrive in London’s climate. Seed-grown trees adapt naturally to local conditions and support wildlife, soil health, and long-term canopy growth.
