Episode 17 of the Tree Radicals podcast, Kath talks with Shubhendu Sharma founder and director of Afforest, about how he is using the Miyawaki method in cities across the globe, they discuss tangible change, and the power of the tiny (forests).

With ever increasing numbers of people living in cities and the UN predicting that 68% of the world population will be living in urban areas by 2050, the need to 'green' our spaces has never been more pressing. Beyond the benefits to air quality, mental-health, and beauty what else can greener concrete spaces provide and where do we start? Afforestt have learned from the great Akira Miyawaki and are keen to share their learnings, knowledge, and methodology of how to create small forests with the world.
