Face to urbanization, society has been affected in terms of quality of life and well-being. Preserving and integrating plant species into the urban environment has been synonymous with survival. In this way "seedling nurseries" are "born", whose main objective is urban afforestation with consequent well-being to the population.  In this sense, the present study presents information from two seedling nurseries in the capital city of Piaui, presenting a diagnosis about their dynamics, understanding how each stage and phase of the process of collection, storage and processing of seeds, production, management, control, identification and distribution of seedlings are performed. It also presents data about the seedling production routine and the processes that involve from the collection of seeds to their distribution to the population. The technical approach of the research is qualiquantitative, using also the bibliographic, field and documentary research. In this research, it was observed that seedlings of approximately 80 botanical species are produced in nurseries. These results are important data generated by the population, the environmental department and the scientific community, and are also of great relevance for future planning. Therefore, tree planting goes beyond planting seedlings in several places, it requires well managed planning to assume this role, so the knowledge of the dynamics in seedling nurseries as well as the transference of this information generates safety conditions in the quality and welfare of future generations.
