What is an
office forest?

With an office forest, you transform the available, often unused outdoor space of your office into a micro-forest. We plant according to the Miyawaki method: an approach that quickly creates dense, biodiverse groves. Within three years, a compact, vibrant green oasis grows in an urban or industrial environment. In the middle of this urban forest, we provide a place to meet or have lunch. An office forest can start from just 100 m².

What is the added value for your company?

Green work environment

An outdoor workplace provides fresh energy, inspiration and better concentration. A green setting reduces stress, promotes decision-making and makes conversations more constructive. The short walk outside is immediately an energetic break.

A valuable HR tool

You show that employee well-being matters, not just with words, but with actions. Meaningfully collaborating on a unique project shows that you take social initiative, strengthens team spirit and makes your company attractive to talent that values sustainable initiatives.

Internal engagement

We do the planting together with you! Rolling up our sleeves creates pride and connection among your employees.

An inspiring lunch spot

Having lunch together in the green is an accessible way to get to know each other better. Being outside for a while makes you fresher and more productive at work afterwards.

Lasting impact, minimal maintenance

A forest is a long-term investment: the ecological and visual impact grows year after year. And the maintenance? That is very manageable. We provide targeted advice and remain available for follow-up questions. After two years, hardly any maintenance is needed.

What impact does an office forest have?

Higher productivity & less stress

Regular contact with nature is associated with more focus and less stress. A green environment supports cognitive functions and concentration.

Team feeling and job satisfaction

Planting together and then enjoying an inspiring environment during a meeting or lunch break creates more team spirit and job satisfaction.

Boost biodiversity

Even small nature spots give biodiversity in an urban context a significant boost. Urban groves visibly attract more birds, insects, squirrels... with positive effects for everyone on the site.
