The project aimed to enhance unutilized rooftops in schools across Cyprus. The idea behind this project was to convert school rooftops into gardens where students would be able to grow their own herbs and vegetables. In advance, students would have the opportunity to educate themselves about gardening and maintenance,and most importantly to learn to respect nature! The rooftops would be used for various purposes, such as: workshops, outdoor classes, playgrounds and social gathering spaces for adults.
