This notice records the initial construction stage of Vinca Garden, Ronglin’s rooftop garden. The project was started to make practical use of an underused roof area and create a planted space for employees and company activities.
At this stage, the main work concerned structural layout, access, drainage planning, planter placement and initial planting. The photographs document that early phase.

Project Scope
Early construction and planting preparation.
The project plan addressed four practical areas before the garden entered regular use:
Structure and access: organizing the framework and movement routes before heavier planting elements were positioned.
Water management: coordinating waterproofing, drainage routes and maintenance access.
Planting: installing the first plants and allowing for later care and adjustment.

Current Update
The garden has progressed beyond construction.
This News post remains the record of the project’s starting point. Later development—including planting changes, planter use, seasonal observations and company activities—is documented separately in the Vinca Garden Rooftop Journal.
The project also forms part of Ronglin’s broader effort to use existing space more thoughtfully. Related company information is available on the sustainability page.
