Gardens that care for people, wildlife & planet

Our sustainability commitments are organised around six principles, a framework we call NATURE. It shapes how we design, build and care for every garden, and how we run our business

• N – Net Biodiversity Gain. Creating gardens alive with wildlife, every season of the year. We aim for every project to leave the site more ecologically valuable than before.
• A – Adaptive & Resilient Design. Water-wise, climate-adaptive design. Gardens that stay beautiful through hosepipe bans, heatwaves and downpours alike.
• T – Tread Lightly. Choosing materials responsibly and reducing waste. The right material for every project, meaning less waste, lower carbon and gardens that last.
• U – Understanding Soil. Protecting and regenerating the ground beneath our feet We treat soil as a living system, something to be nurtured, not depleted.
• R – Responsibility for the Environment. Reducing our carbon footprint year on year. Across our tools, our vehicles, our materials and our operations.
• E – Enriching Lives of the people whose gardens we create. Improving wellbeing for the people who use each garden and our local community, including through our Gardening for Wellbeing sessions.

GreenArt has been based in Wallingford since 2009, first at Ayres Yard and, since the start of 2026, on the High Street, where you can drop in to meet us and see our work. Our team live in the local area, many of our clients are our neighbours, and we care about the town as much as the gardens in it. That’s why we give our time, skills and support to the people and projects helping it grow greener and healthier.

• Wild About Wallingford - We support Wild About Wallingford's community greening efforts, lending expertise, time and enthusiasm to make the town a better place for wildlife and the people who live alongside it.
• Wallingford Carnival - We take part in the Wallingford Carnival each year, one of the town's best-loved community events. It's a chance to meet the families we work with, celebrate the town, and talk about what's possible in their gardens.
• Public and community spaces - We're proud to have helped designed and built public spaces across the town, including the Wallingford Rest Garden, projects at Wallingford School and Howbery Park.
• As a corporate member of Earth Trust, we support the charity that cares for Wittenham Clumps and Wallingford Castle Meadows, and share ideas with other local businesses on becoming more nature-friendly.

GreenArt is a corporate member of Earth Trust, the charity that cares for Wittenham Clumps, Wallingford Castle Meadows and some of South Oxfordshire’s most loved green spaces. Earth Trust’s mission is to help more people connect with nature, so that nature and people can thrive in balance.

For us, it’s a natural fit. The gardens we design, build and care for can extend ecological connectivity from these larger landscapes into the streets, gardens and shared spaces where people actually live. A garden with the right planting, a pond and some habitat features isn’t just beautiful, it’s a stepping stone.

We also value Earth Trust’s corporate member meet-ups, where we share ideas with other local businesses on how to make our work more nature-friendly. One idea from these sessions became our Nature Day: an extra day’s holiday for every team member to connect with nature.
