Frequently asked questions about corporate edible gardens in Puerto Rico

What is a corporate edible garden?

It's an edible growing space professionally installed and maintained inside a company. It turns a rooftop, terrace, or green area into a living garden where employees take healthy breaks, connect with each other, and harvest fresh food, without having to take on the work of maintaining it.

What benefits does a corporate garden bring to my company?

It improves employee wellbeing and reduces stress, boosts productivity and creativity, strengthens culture and talent retention, and projects a sustainable (ESG) brand. Studies link contact with nature to lower cortisol and greater wellbeing at work.

Does this take time away from my staff?

No. The service is turnkey: we design, install, and maintain the garden. Employee participation is voluntary and limited to what they enjoy—workshops, planting, and harvesting—never maintenance.

Who maintains the corporate garden?

We maintain it, with recurring visits for watering, planting, pruning, pest control, and harvesting. We guarantee the garden looks healthy and presentable at all times.

How much does it cost to install a corporate garden in Puerto Rico?

The investment includes an initial installation (one-time payment) and recurring monthly maintenance, plus specialist support each cycle. The exact figure depends on the size and conditions of the space, and is detailed in a quote after a site visit.

How is the impact on employees measured?

With a citable methodology: the Kirkpatrick model and validated instruments such as WHO-5 (wellbeing), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Gallup Q12 (engagement), measured at the start and end of each cycle. The company receives a report with evidence.

Does a garden pose a dengue risk?

No, if it's well designed. We use irrigation with no standing water and protocols that eliminate mosquito breeding sites, in line with public health recommendations. A well-maintained garden poses less risk than many forgotten containers.

What happens with the harvest?

The company decides: share it among employees as a benefit, give it to the community, or use it in internal activities. Any option reinforces the organization's message.

Which areas of Puerto Rico do you install corporate gardens in?

We serve the metro area and the north of the island, including Guaynabo, Dorado, San Juan, Bayamón, Toa Alta, Toa Baja, and Vega Alta. Ask us about other areas.

What kind of spaces work for a corporate garden?

Rooftops, terraces, and green areas. We check structural capacity and waterproofing before installing; if the space isn't ideal, we use lightweight modular beds or a ground-level area, without compromising the building's safety.

Can I join as an outside collaborator?

Yes. We're building a network of agronomists, industrial-organizational psychologists, culture specialists, installers, and educators. You can apply from the collaborators section on the main page.

How do I get started?

Request information and we'll schedule a visit to your space. Then we prepare a tailored proposal and, if it convinces you, we install a low-risk pilot with impact measurement before any expansion.
