Let's Grow a Greener Cemagi 🌳

Hello, Cemagi Community! Last year, more than 100 trees were cut down in Cemagi and Seseh to make way for new pavements and smoother roads. Now, we'd love to bring a little more nature back.

Why trees?

🌿 Cooler streets

Trees provide shade and help cool the ground and surrounding air.

🌿 Cleaner air

Tabebuya leaves can capture dust from the air around our roads.

🌿 Helping our planet

As they grow, trees absorb CO₂ and store carbon.

🌿 Homes for nature

Trees provide food and shelter for birds, insects and other little creatures.

🌿 A greener childhood

Let's give our children the chance to grow up alongside nature, learn to care for it, and watch something beautiful grow over time.

Every tree makes a small contribution. Together, we can make our corner of Cemagi greener, shadier and more alive.

Our little plan

We're aiming to plant and nurture 40 new trees (and we’re hopeful for more!), starting outside Bloom School and growing from there. Can you help us make it happen?

🤍 A not-for-profit community project

This is a community project, run with love and not for profit. Your sponsorship goes towards the trees, the local planting team, materials and aftercare.

Planting Day Is Just the Beginning: What a Year of Care Looks Like 🌿

Tap to see how we look after your tree with Grow With Us

Planting is just the beginning. Young street trees face heat, dry spells, wind and busy roadsides, so with Grow With Us we stay by your tree's side for a whole year, long after the first three months, to give it the very best chance to thrive.

👀 Twice-monthly visits

Our team visits twice a month to look over the leaves, trunk and roots, catching small problems early before they become big ones.

💧 Water through the dry season

When the rains fade, young roots are still shallow and thirsty. We water deeply so your tree stays strong through the hottest months.

🌱 Healthy soil

We top up the soil and add natural nutrients when needed, and keep the ground around your tree tidy and weed-free so it has room to grow.

✂️ Gentle pruning

Where appropriate, light pruning helps your tree build a strong, balanced shape that will give lovely shade for years.

🪵 Supports checked

We make sure stakes and ties are snug but never tight, and adjust them as the trunk grows thicker and stronger.

📸 Photo updates

You'll receive photos as your tree grows, so you can watch it settle in, push out new leaves and reach a little higher.

Twelve months of steady, patient care, from people who love trees, so the tree you sponsor keeps growing long after planting day.

🌳 Each green dot is where we plan to line the trees, subject to road depth and water ways.

Open in Google Maps

We'll begin along the road outside Bloom School, subject to the necessary permissions and underground utility checks, then look to expand from there.

Planting is planned for the rainy season, when the conditions can help young trees establish themselves. Each location will be checked for safe planting and suitable drainage.

The People Behind the Project 🤍

The tree team 🌳

Max

Our Tree Expert

Max is a true tree expert. In France he carefully dug up, moved and replanted 300-year-old olive trees, work that takes deep knowledge of roots, soil and timing to keep such old trees alive. He's bringing that same care to Cemagi as a community initiative, choosing the right trees and planting spots, bringing the right people together and making sure local suppliers and workers are paid fairly.

Max runs Mr Hijau (Mr Green), a Bali-based team that designs, builds and maintains gardens for villas, hotels and homes, with a focus on low-impact care that thrives in Bali's climate.

Asis

Team Leader

Asis is Max's right-hand man and our wonderful team leader. With over 18 years of experience working in Bali, he knows tropical gardens inside out and has helped build some truly beautiful ones. He also helps us find the very best suppliers for our plants and trees.

Ronnie

Second in Command

Ronnie keeps everything running smoothly, making sure the team is in the right place at the right time. He also brings a wealth of knowledge about local plants and trees, which is a real gift for a project like ours.

Bloom Boutique Atelier Preschool

Our Host School

Bloom Boutique Atelier is a Reggio Emilia-inspired preschool on Jl. Pratu Rai Madra in Cemagi, welcoming children aged 1 to 7. Set on a leafy property near the beach, it grows confident learners through nature, play and inquiry, so planting trees along its own road is a natural fit. The school hosts the project and collects all sponsorship payments through Yayasan Pendidikan Zerosei Indonesia.
