Corporate gardens aren't an experiment: leading brands already use them as part of their wellness and brand strategy. These case studies lower the risk of adoption for any company.
The case studies
- Tiffany & Co. installed a rooftop garden for its employees; participants reported less stress and better relationships with colleagues.
- Kohl's created a garden of thousands of square feet at its headquarters as part of its wellness program.
- Amazon built "The Spheres" in Seattle, nature-filled domes designed as a wellness and inspiration space.
- Shopify set up a rooftop farm at its Toronto headquarters as a living amenity.
- L'Oréal and Johnson & Johnson have launched employee gardening programs as part of their corporate wellness offerings.
What they have in common
All of them treat nature at work as a deliberate investment —not decoration— and use it both for internal wellness and for their employer brand. A corporate wellness expert, quoted by Fortune, described employee gardens as the most exciting development in the new generation of wellness programs.
The lesson for Puerto Rico
If the model works in tough northern climates, in the island's tropical climate —where harvests happen year-round— the potential is even greater. What's missing isn't the climate: it's someone to design, install, and maintain it.
