MicroForests is a social enterprise that provides meaningful training and dignified job opportunities for women who are new arrivals, single parents or from low income families through the sale of artwork and MicroForests workshops.
MicroForests also aims to empower them to regain confidence, dignity and enhance their well-being.
MicroForests are inspired by the Sogetsu School of Japanese Floral Art (Ikebana) founded in 1927 by Sofu Teshigahara. They create living artwork that brings green, peace, happiness and balance to the busy lives of Hong Kong people. Each MicroForests artwork is an unique ecosystem made just for you!
