\ud83c\udf31 Inclusive urban gardens in Madrid show that sustainability can also be cultivated in the workplace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our Inclusive Urban Gardens<\/strong>, managed by Merlin Hub<\/a> together with Fundaci\u00f3n Juan XXIII<\/strong>, are much more than growing spaces.<\/p>\n

They have become a way to raise environmental awareness, encourage healthy habits and create opportunities for learning and participation among users of our office buildings.<\/p>\n

During the first half of 2026, the inclusive urban gardens in Madrid<\/strong> have achieved:<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 616.77 m\u00b2 of growing space<\/strong> across office buildings including Adequa, Torre Chamart\u00edn, Aquamarina, Avenida Europa and V\u00eda Norte.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 223.06 kg of food harvested<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd39 41.86 kg of food donated<\/strong> to the Food Bank and the Food Recovery Network of Rivas-Vaciamadrid, benefiting 400 families<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition, during this period, weekly environmental awareness activities, experiential micro-workshops, a new programme of inclusive sustainable challenges and a points programme to encourage user participation have been introduced.<\/p>\n

These figures show how office spaces can become platforms for creating a positive impact that extends beyond the building itself.<\/p>\n

Because cultivating sustainability also means building community, promoting inclusion and helping improve the surrounding environment. \ud83c\udf31<\/p>\n
