Volkswagen Group China takes an active part in the development of community-friendly green spaces in Beijing. Together with the Beijing Afforestation Foundation, the Group initiated the V-GARDEN project. The project aims to protect ecosystem stability and biodiversity and provide opportunities for residents nearby to connect with and experience nature through enhancing the quality of community greenery.
Located to the east of the Beijing-Chengde Expressway, V-Garden covers an area of nearly 15,000 square meters and serves as a public green space. The project has upgraded and renovated the garden entrance, flower borders, walking trails, resting areas, observation deck, children’s play areas and more. It utilizes the existing vegetation and has been further improved by using a combination of local Beijing plant species to create a green area. V-Garden features approximately 350 trees, 3,450 shrubs and 2,500 square meters of flower-covered areas. It is capable of absorbing roughly 330 tons of carbon dioxide annually. The diversity of the plants not only increases the ecological resilience of the green space but also provides abundant food sources, nectar sources, habitats and shelter for birds, insects and other animals.
