Aside from purely commercial and manufacturing activities, Ibercisa also helps in various altruistic causes in its home town of Vigo. The Fundación Sales in Ad. de Europa 52, Vigo, was founded to firstly protect the garden of the late Francisco de Sales, one of Galicia’s first landscape designer and horticulturists whose plant collections were the envy of many a gardener in Spain.  On his death, the foundation was created to look after his garden which is now open to the public and offers all kinds of tuition and practical gardening classes to the general public with a view to increasing sensibilities in Galicia towards good practices, environmental concerns, recycling etc.. Ibercisa participates both financially and physically in all aspects of the project with a view to saving this tiny green space from extinction and offering a chance for people of the town to get involved with the garden by becoming Friends of the Foundation and participating in all the activities both cultural and purely horticultural, held therein.
