ABOUT
VertiGrow is an initiative set up within Aster Lion. Aster Lion has been well-known for our focus providing HR and Payroll solutions over the past several years. We’ve grown our reputation by providing professional support to many Multi-National and SME organizations. And now, it’s time for us to GO GREEN!
To do this we launched this initiative VertiGrow with the mission to make cities green. To kick things off, Aster Lion has fully sponsored a vertical garden at Heathfield International School in Bangkok. Moving forward, we will work with our clients who express interest in providing corporate sponsorship to replicate this project to deploy vertical and urban gardens across multiple schools in our mission to make cities green!
WHY?
Important things plants do for cities
Makes the air cleaner
Trees & plants can absorb up to 150kg of CO2 per year helping to reduce pollution
Keeps us cool
Cities aligned with trees & plants can experience temperatures lowered by 6 degrees
Makes us happier
Being surrounded by trees & plants makes us less stressed and generally happier
OUR MISSION
To make cities Green!
