Overview

  • The Jardín de Trini Simó will span 8,425 square meters, with 3,998 m² of green space and 4,427 m² of public areas, integrating the huerta landscape with urban design.
  • Construction officially commenced on May 13, 2025, following the replanteo signing by Councilor Mónica Gil, with completion expected by March 2026.
  • The project is led by architect Carmel Gradolí and executed by Grupo Bertolín SAU, featuring the winning 'Bardissa' design from a multidisciplinary competition.
  • Funded by EU Next Generation funds, the garden connects cultural landmarks like the Jardines de las Hespérides and the Jardín Botánico, enhancing Valencia’s green recovery strategy.
  • Named after activist Trini Simó, the garden commemorates the 1995 Salvem el Botànic movement that halted hotel development on the site.
