Urban Plant Lab is a not-for-profit organisation that has been established to benefit those seeking to select and establish plants for urban environments. Resilient green infrastructure is vital to societal wellbeing and relies on informed species selection complementing other aspects of planning and management. Urban Plant Lab will deliver research, guidance and training to support the delivery of quality green spaces for future generations.
We do this by:
Conducting research focused on plant selection and establishment.
Fostering an active research community with shared goals to improve plant selection and management.
Producing evidence-based guidance for green-infrastructure professional stakeholders.
Supporting the specification of plants for urban environments.
Revolutionising green infrastructure procurement by providing industry-leading plant data that can be used in digital design workflows.
Delivering and coordinating training for professional and volunteer communities
We aim to translate Science to inform Strategy and enhance our Streets.
