Friends of the Garden for corporates

Enabling your staff to spend time in nature during the working week can have innumerable benefits for businesses large and small. That includes boosts in happiness and productivity, better staff retention, and even the ability to attract better workers. 

That’s the idea behind the corporate Friends of the Garden program – an annual membership that gives your entire team year-round access to the garden, exclusive health and wellbeing workshops and customised team building activities.

This is all about giving your staff a place where they can go to spend time with each other to build team culture and de-stress in a beautiful natural environment. There are a limited number of corporate memberships available - please contact chinesegarden@property.nsw.gov.au or purchase now online.
