The Municipal Institute of Parks and Gardens’ Board of Directors is made up of 12 members (see its composition).

The Institute’s Chair is Laia Bonet (see CV) and Manager is Francesc Jiménez Gusi (see CV). You will find information on their positions and salaries from the City Council’s Transparency Portal.

The Institute’s first-level structure, effective as of 1 October 2020, consists of 4 directorates:

• The Directorate for Conservation Services is tasked with directing, coordinating and managing the city's green spaces, trees and flower beds, as well as the internal logistics associated with such management (nurseries, machinery and vehicles).
• The Directorate for Technical Services and Planning is tasked with establishing the technical parameters (for designing, managing, planning, etc.,) the tools and strategic plans for enabling the guidance and development of green spaces and their associated infrastructure. It thereby links together the worlds of conservation with that of green-space training, participation and revitalisation, as well as the management of buildings and facilities allocated to the Institute and information and information-processing services.
• The General-Services Directorate is responsible for administering the resources made available by the Institute’s Manager's Office Board for the purposes of achieving the objectives set out, linked to human resources and their organisation, financial and administrative management and legal services.
• The Directorate for Cross-Departmental Services with the Manager’s Office for Urban Ecology is tasked with guaranteeing the coverage of the cross-departmental services of the Manager’s Office for Urban Ecology and the City Council, in relation to and on behalf of the Institute, as well as for the quality of the various certified processes that it is committed to.

The Institute does not pay any compensation for dismissals that are not set out in the Statute of Workers.
