Green Force is head up by an outdoor design/environmental expert and a whole lot of hard working gardeners, all with one goal in mind, to turn unused urban landscapes into usable, sustainable green spaces. We are going to bring green back to the hospices, the subway stations, the daycares, the asphalt parks, the downtown buildings and anywhere else the concrete jungle has taken over.

Our compassionate host/designer, Carson Arthur, will meet the people, find out what’s wrong, assemble an extensive team and take action.  We will learn how to design the perfect community garden or how to take a cold lifeless building and transform it into a living organism. One day we will visit a women’s shelter that’s in desperate need of the healing that only nature can bring. Next time we’ll take over a bus station that wants to trade its concrete and brick for a living wall and a water fountain. All of these scenarios involve how and why a design works and how to implement the design so that it is environmentally friendly and sustainable.
