ABOUT GARDEN FOOTPRINT
Ā
Garden Footprint was founded to address a simple but persistent gap in housing delivery:
what happens to green infrastructure once residents move in?
Planning frameworks emphasise long-term stewardship, yet in practice, private gardens and communal green spaces often drift from their original ecological and drainage intent within a few years of occupation.
Garden Footprint provides a scalable, resident-led stewardship layer; supporting biodiversity, soil health and SuDS performance beyond handover, without adding operational burden to housing providers.
The programme has been tested with over 1,500 gardeners andĀ has been tailored specifically for housing providers and green infrastructure schemes.
MEETĀ MIKE
Mikeās background spans construction project management, geography, ecological design alongside more than a decade working directly with learners and gardens. This combination gives him a practical understanding of soil, planting and place quality, and how resident decisions shape outcomes over time.
Garden Footprint was created to address the post-handover gap: translating sustainability and stewardship intent into clear, realistic guidance that residents can actually use. It helps housing providers protect long-term outcomes without adding delivery or management burden.
