About
Brightside reimagines cities from the soil up - transforming everyday spaces into vibrant, life-giving places where people and nature flourish together.Founded in Detroit, we’re a collective of community stewards, ecological designers, strategists, creatives, and systems thinkers working at the intersection of beauty, biodiversity, and belonging. From wildflower meadows to microforests and pollinator gardens and pathways, we help communities, landowners, and institutions bring land to life through low-cost, high-impact design that scales neighborhood by neighborhood.At the heart of our approach is the belief that small, thoughtful actions can ripple outward - healing ecosystems, reconnecting people to place, and reshaping urban life for our shared future.
