How Project Green ensures sustainability and quality through research, development, and quality control.

Community voices are central to this journey. In 2023, the Community Greening Grant funded 16 projects across Malta and Gozo, breathing life into forgotten spaces and turning them into welcoming gardens with educational and recreational features. Larger efforts, like the regeneration of Independence Garden in Birżebbuġa, Hospice Garden in Santa Venera, San Ġwann’s Pollinator Garden, and the Erba’ Mwieżeb Regeneration Garden, have boosted urban ecological health, reduced stress, created jobs, and strengthened the community.

Nature itself guides our design. By prioritising Malta’s native and naturalised plants, we restore balance to ecosystems and reduce water use. In 2024, work in nine valleys; including Wied il-Baħrija, Wied Għajn Riħana, and Wied il-Fiddien; the interventions consisted of the removal invasive species, planting of riparian vegetation, and cleared debris to revive fragile habitats. In cities, tree planting offers shade, improved air quality, and relief from heat stress, with new projects like Ġnien l-Inħawi (District Park), and the Mqabba Sensory Park already underway.

Water and soil are equally precious. The RainWiiN Project in Wied Sta. Katerina alone boosted rainwater storage by 45,000m³, helping recharge aquifers. Meanwhile, mulching, rubble wall restoration, and eco-friendly reinforcements improve soil health, as seen at Villa Portelli Garden in Kalkara, where cultural heritage and ecology now thrive side by side.

Most importantly, our care doesn’t stop at inauguration. Through ongoing quality control and maintenance, every park and valley continue to grow, flourish, and connect people with nature.
