The Garden of the Environment House is located in the heart of the locality of Montijo, an integral part of the municipality with the same name. Integrated into the urban fabric, this garden provides a zone of quietness and contact with nature, accessible to those exploring the city. Its presence contributes to a more pleasant and balanced urban environment.
This garden represents a green lung in Montijo, actively contributing to the improvement of the quality of life in the city. Its design emphasizes the role of trees in the urban environment, helping to purify the air, reduce noise, and offer inviting shaded areas. It is a place that demonstrates how nature can integrate harmoniously into urban daily life, providing a more serene and fresh environment.
The Garden of the Environment House underscores a strong commitment to sustainability and ecological education. The name of the place, in itself, reflects this vocation for the conservation and valorization of the environment. The space has been the stage for symbolic tree-planting initiatives, reinforcing the importance of flora for the health of the ecosystem and for everyone's well-being. These actions contribute to the absorption of carbon dioxide and the production of oxygen, crucial elements for environmental balance.
In the Garden of the Environment House, visitors can observe different tree species that have been planted there. Among them, the carob tree stands out, known for its robustness, and the mulberry tree, present in its white and black fruit varieties, which offer a touch of diversity. The presence of palm trees complements the landscape, giving it a particular aesthetic. The diversity of flora contributes to the enrichment of the local ecosystem and to the scenic beauty of the garden.
