Miyawaki Forest Development for Urban Spaces
By Garden Up Landscaping
At Garden Up, we specialise in designing and developing Miyawaki Forests — ultra-dense, native micro-forests ideal for urban landscapes. Inspired by the method pioneered by Japanese botanist Dr. Akira Miyawaki, these forests grow faster, support biodiversity, and require minimal long-term maintenance.
What is a Miyawaki Forest?
A Miyawaki forest is a fast-growing, native forest created using dense plantation techniques and layered vegetation. Within just 2-3 years, these forests grow 10x faster and are 30x denser than conventional plantations.
Who Needs It?
Perfect for : Industrial Townships: Dust and noise pollution reduction.
-
-
Urban Municipalities: Combat urban pollution and heat.
-
Builders & Townships: Gain green certifications and fight the heat island effect.
-
Corporate Campuses, Schools & Hospitals: Promote visible sustainability.
-
NGOs & Government Bodies: Enhance local ecology, meet green mandates
-
The Method for the plantation that we follow at Garden Up
-
Soil Preparation
Enriching soil with organic matter, such as dried dung, straw and husk, microbes (beneficial microbiota), and insect (Bettles) life to activate natural soil learning. -
Biological Inputs
We incorporate compost, mulch, and other organic material to boost soil biodiversity and moisture retention. -
Dense, Multi-Layered Planting
-
High density planting to encourage competition and faster growth
-
Multiple layers: canopy, shrubs, and ground cover
-
We plants with Native species only — selected for local adaptability and ecological value
-
-
What We Aim to Achieve
-
Reducing the urban heat island effect
-
Sustainable low cost, long term self maintenance of the green space
-
Urban nature reserves, diverse in macro and micro biota
-
Restoration of secondary forest
-
Why Choose Miyawaki for Urban Landscapes?
Compared to regular urban plantation efforts, Miyawaki forests offer:
-
Lower vandalism rates of abandoned lands -
Higher survival with minimal grazing causing fatality of new trees
-
Reduced long-term maintenance costs
-
Rapid growth and dense canopy
Environmental Impact
-
-
Acts as a buffer for air and noise pollution.
-
Reduces urban temperature spikes (heat island).
-
Improves soil health and fertility.
-
Boosts local biodiversity.
-
Provides quality biomass and new green employment opportunities.

Pricing for Miyawaki forest planting
Pricing is typically calculated per square metre. Plantation costs start from approximately ₹100/sq m and may increase based on specific site requirements. For detailed information, please contact us at info@gardenup.in.
