How to start a corporate garden: a step-by-step guide

First steps of a corporate garden: a wooden bed, tools, and seedlings on a terrace

Starting a corporate garden is easier than it sounds when the provider handles everything. This is the typical, low-risk path with a visible result.

Step 1 — Consultation and evaluation

A specialist visits the candidate space (rooftop, terrace, or green area) and evaluates sun, water, and structure, while also listening to the company's wellness goals.

Step 2 — Custom proposal

A plan is designed to fit the space, the climate, and the goals, including a measurable impact framework. This is where the pilot's size gets defined.

Step 3 — Turnkey installation

The growing beds, irrigation, and first planting are set up. No construction work and no added burden for company staff.

Step 4 — Care and workshops

Recurring maintenance plus support from specialists (agronomy, wellness psychology, and culture) throughout the growing cycle.

Step 5 — Harvest and report

The team harvests fresh food and the company receives an impact report with the evidence. If it delivers results, the model expands to more locations.

The golden recommendation: start with a pilot

A pilot at a single location lets you measure the real impact on your own people before committing resources to an expansion. Low risk, concrete evidence.

Take the first step today. Request information.
