À propos de l'événement
Covering 200m2, the pocket forest will include 350 shrubs and 250 native trees, planted at three plants per square meter. The trees come from Pépinière Genolier, locally collected Genevan seeds, and our organic-certified nursery in Bernex.
This forest follows the Miyawaki method, known for fast growth and high biodiversity.
Key Environmental benefits include:
Rapid growth - up to 1m per year
Improved air quality - COz storage, oxygen production, fine particle reduction
Temperature regulation - -2°C cooling effect in summer
