The Rise of the Pocket Forest
Despite their small size (sometimes as little as 15 to 25 square meters), Pocket Forests deliver outsize benefits such as:
- They grow up to 10 times faster than conventional urban plantings.
- They support and give life to multiple species of native flora and fauna.
- They purify air, store carbon, manage stormwater, reduce heat, and provide shade.
- They inspire us, improve mental health, offer educational opportunities, and bring beauty and inspiration into everyday life.
For cities facing rising heat, pollution, and disconnection from nature, Pocket Forests are a compelling solution. They don’t just beautify—they transform. These small ecosystems offer a model of what urban greening can be: fast, affordable, community-driven, and deeply regenerative.
The FactoryForest Vision
At FactoryForest gardens, we’re inspired by this idea. We believe that every workplace, no matter how industrial or underutilized, has the potential to host a living forest – vast or pocket-sized. Our mission is to bring nature back into the world, one green space at a time. Why? Because when we plant with purpose, even the smallest forest can change the world.
Let’s create your first FactoryForest Pocket Forest together.
Whether it’s a forgotten corner of a warehouse, a bare courtyard or home or commercial backyard, or an unused rooftop, FactoryForest can help you bring it to life.
