Green projects designed for Mother’s Day 2025

The Green section of Gobid.it has always been a space where we explore new ways to live in harmony with the planet, without giving up on quality and well-being. For Mother’s Day 2025, we’ve decided to focus on green projects that put mothers at the center: initiatives designed to improve health, quality of life, and social connection, always with respect for the environment. These initiatives and projects are featured by major media outlets, associations, and key players in the sector. From individual well-being to the strength of the community, these experiences reflect a new, more conscious and sustainable way of being a mother.

Urban gardens: cultivating health and community

In recent years, urban gardens have become true symbols of urban regeneration and social inclusion. In cities like Milan, Turin, Bologna, and Rome, many projects dedicate spaces to families, especially mothers and children, to grow zero-mile fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Participating in an urban garden is not just a way to eat healthily; it’s also an opportunity to teach children about respect for nature and to create new friendships. Initiatives like Orti Generali in Turin and Coltivando in Milan are exemplary models of how working the land can become a collective and transformative experience.

Solidarity purchasing groups for conscious shopping

Solidarity purchasing groups (GAS) are increasingly popular among mothers who want to bring healthy, organic, and local products to the table. These groups allow people to buy directly from small producers, lowering costs and reducing the environmental impact of the food supply chain. For many mothers, joining a GAS also means building networks of mutual support: people exchange recipes, tips, and even time and energy to help distribute the products. In Italy, these networks provide reference points to find a nearby GAS and start a more ethical and responsible consumption journey

Eco-friendly wellness courses: yoga, mindfulness, and outdoor activities

More and more wellness centers are offering courses specifically designed for mothers, with a focus on sustainability. We’re talking about outdoor yoga classes, mindfulness practices in nature, forest bathing (shinrin-yoku), and low environmental impact movement activities. The benefit is twofold: on the one hand, it’s a way to care for body and mind; on the other, it strengthens the bond with the natural environment. Projects like Mommy Green Yoga and Forest Bathing Italia represent an innovative way to combine wellness and respect for the ecosystem.

Green spaces and inclusive parks for mothers and children

More and more cities are investing in inclusive parks and green spaces designed with attention to the environment and the needs of mothers and children. Sensory gardens, play areas with natural materials, and educational paths on biodiversity are becoming an integral part of sustainable urban planning. Exemplary cases include Parco Dora in Turin or the Giardino della Biodiversità in Padua, places where families can spend quality time together while learning about and respecting nature.

Why these projects make a difference

These initiatives represent much more than just recreational opportunities: they are spaces where mothers can rediscover authentic well-being, build meaningful relationships, and pass on fundamental values such as respect for the environment, solidarity, and responsible consumption to their children. Incorporating green practices into daily life doesn’t just mean making ethical choices—it also enriches the experience of motherhood.

For Mother’s Day 2025, focusing on green projects designed for mothers means embracing a vision of well-being that goes beyond the individual and extends to the community and the planet. Whether it’s cultivating a garden, joining a solidarity purchasing group, practicing yoga outdoors, or simply enjoying an inclusive park, every mother can find a way to live in harmony with nature and pass on a love for a more sustainable world to her children.
