Garden Maintenance
"Join us in transforming concrete jungles into lush green spaces! Since 2010, we’ve empowered over 8,000 households, 200 schools, 100 green spaces, and 50 urban farms across Bangladesh to embrace rooftop gardening and urban farming. Be a part of our mission to create a greener, more sustainable future—one rooftop at a time!"
GARDENERS’ TRAINING ACADEMY
Bangladesh faces a significant shortage of green spaces, especially in urban areas like Dhaka, where greenery covers less than 5% of the city—far below the World Health Organization’s recommended 20–30%. Rapid urbanization, unplanned development, and encroachment on natural spaces have led to environmental degradation, poor air quality, and limited recreational opportunities, disconnecting communities from nature.
​In response, Green Savers established the Gardeners' Training Academy to create a skilled workforce dedicated to urban greening. The academy focuses on training individuals with diplomas in agriculture, equipping them with expertise in plant care, pest management, and sustainable gardening practices. Participants undergo a 6-month internship, gaining hands-on experience, followed by job placement support in both private and public sectors.
A unique feature of the academy is its ability to produce skilled Tree Doctors—professionals who provide expert care for plants by diagnosing issues, managing pests, and ensuring longterm plant health. Through this program, participants learn advanced techniques in tree care, soil management, and eco-friendly interventions, enabling them to tackle complex challenges in urban greenery. These Tree Doctors play a critical role in maintaining the health of gardens, ensuring thriving ecosystems, and fostering sustainable greening projects.
The academy’s Tree Doctors transform underutilized spaces like rooftops and courtyards into thriving gardens, directly addressing the lack of greenery while enhancing biodiversity and air quality. Emphasizing eco-friendly practices such as organic composting and efficient irrigation, the academy ensures sustainable outcomes and lasting environmental impact.​ Through professional training, practical experience, and job placement, the Gardeners' Training Academy not only addresses the green space crisis but also elevates gardening and plant care as respected professions. By producing skilled Tree Doctors and empowering gardeners, the academy contributes to a greener, healthier Bangladesh and promotes longterm sustainability in urban environments.

WHY 'TREE DOCTOR'
The Tree Doctor service by Green Savers responds to the critical need for professional plant care in today’s urban settings, where greenery faces significant challenges. With rising levels of air pollution, pest infestations, and soil degradation, plants often struggle to thrive without expert intervention. The Tree Doctor service is designed to diagnose and address these issues effectively, ensuring plants remain healthy and resilient. Common problems such as yellowing leaves, stunted growth, and pest attacks are carefully assessed, followed by tailored solutions that include pest control, nutrient supplementation, disease management, and pruning.
A key feature of this service is its commitment to sustainable practices. By using organic fertilizers, natural pest repellents, and eco-friendly methods, Tree Doctors promote plant health while minimizing environmental impact. This approach not only restores plant vitality but also fosters a sustainable balance within urban ecosystems. Regular maintenance and monitoring ensure that plants grow stronger over time, transforming gardens into lush, vibrant spaces that contribute to biodiversity, improve air quality, and provide aesthetic value.
The service is versatile, catering to a wide range of needs, from residential gardens and office landscapes to community green spaces. It empowers homeowners, businesses, and local communities to maintain and enhance their green spaces with professional support. By ensuring plants are well-cared for, the Tree Doctor service plays a crucial role in combating urban environmental challenges and advancing the goal of greener, healthier cities for everyone.
