Your corks become soil.
Your soil becomes our canopy.
Your community becomes greener.
A neighbourhood-wide cork recycling movement to grow the new Keyes Art Mile Highveld Garden.
From every cork, a garden grows.
Keyes Art Mile is launching an urban greening initiative that turns used corks collected across Rosebank into a living aerial garden in the new Keyes Art Mile 2.0 development.
Natural cork is renewable, biodegradable, and highly recyclable. When processed, it can be blended into a lightweight planting substrate—perfect for vertical, elevated and aerial gardens.
With Corks to Canopy, we’re inviting cafés, restaurants, residents, offices and visitors across Rosebank to drop their corks into dedicated collection bins. These corks will then be processed and used to plant the Highveld Garden, a signature green feature in the new Keyes Art Mile 2.0 extension
Your corks feed our garden.
This is circular economy made local, tangible and beautiful.
It’s Rosebank, rising green.
01
Circularity Made Visible
Keyes Art Mile transforms everyday waste into urban greenery. People see where their corks go and how they’re used.
02
Community-Powered Green Space
Residents and visitors directly contribute to building Rosebank’s next landmark garden.
03
Art, Design and Ecology Combined
The aerial garden becomes a sculptural, elevated installation — part botanical, part architectural — aligned with the creative DNA of Keyes Art Mile.
04
A Neighbourhood Sustainability First
Rosebank shows leadership in small-scale, high-impact urban sustainability.
Forget carbon neutral. Go Carbon negative.
Cork naturally sequesters CO2. By upcycling this already carbon negative material into a second life, we ensure that it is a permanent sequestering of up to 70 tons of CO2 per ton of cork. And it replaces the industry standard polistyrene normally used in similar applications. Its a double win.
