VIRIDIS participated in the Global Annual Initiative PARK(ing) day and transformed one of the parking spaces located in front of the Union of Architects to a “Flower Meadow”.
More than 300 paper poppies and a truckload of gravel were used in order to realize this innovative project.

The main idea behind the Poppy Park(ing) was related with donation to charity for buying trees for the South Park in Sofia. As result – we have sold about 67 of our paper flowers and the funds will be invested in planting 5 trees in one of the biggest parks in Sofia!

  1. I love this on so many levels! What a bright spot to see instead of a car and a fabulous way to raise awareness on the importance of trees.
