We went on a field trip to Athens and Marathon, Greece, to test the feasibility of an upcoming project with high resource- and water efficiency requirements. Through nursery visits, invigorating hikes, and the study of local plant species, we immersed ourselves in the local horticulture and prepared for the exciting challenge ahead. We are poised to implement resource-efficient strategies, preserving native plant species and harmonizing our project with the surrounding environment and climate conditions.
