At Mingzhu Nerval, our field trips are more than explorations—they are integral to our botanical design process. Recently, we travelled to Athens and Marathon to conduct on-site research for an upcoming international project with ambitious sustainability goals focused on water efficiency, native species, and long-term resilience.

Through nursery visits, invigorating hikes, and the close study of Mediterranean flora, we gained first-hand insight into the ecosystems we aim to reflect. Our botanical field research ensures that every element we design is informed by climate conditions, soil profiles, and plant adaptability—the pillars of eco-conscious landscape architecture.

As global climate challenges grow, our commitment to climate-resilient landscaping, site-specific green infrastructure, and sustainable plant selection has never been stronger. This trip reaffirms a guiding belief at Mingzhu Nerval: the most powerful landscapes are rooted in place—technically, culturally, and ecologically.
