The Miyawaki method is an ecological engineering approach dedicated to creating native, dense, biodiverse, and fast-growing forests.
Developed and refined by Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki, this method revolutionized the way we now look at vegetation in cities!
What began in Asia is now used on every continent, in thousands of ecological restoration projects, where concrete or barren land is transformed into vibrant native forests!
Besides regenerating the soil and having numerous positive environmental impacts, these forests also contribute to the physical and mental well-being of anyone who helps plant and maintain these ecosystems.
