Botanical Garden | Sustainable Service Design

Garden for life is a Service Organization which promote Seed Bank for a future Botanical Garden called Elichrysos.
We ask many people what a Botanical Garden mean for them..
...and one of the owner and co-founder of the Botanical Garden.
...and we sum up that everything begin with the seeds.
The non-goverment organization called "Elichrysos", which decided to create the Votanical Garden, located in a Greek island, called Syros. It is a very dry island and there are many consequences, which make it difficult to succeed this.
However, they wanted to reborn the nature..
...so, they took a donation from the goverment of Syros island.
This is a picture, the owners gave to us and it depicts the land of the future Votanical Garden.
To understand better the problem and the needs of the owners,  we made an interactive interview...
... and we saw their basic values and principles which are solidarity, team spirit, social esponsibility and volunteerism!
Also, we did some playful quaistionairies to people to see if they knew about the future Votanical Garden in their island, what they think its the best way to promote it and if they could help with it.
Now, the place is abandoned so they want to do something to make it more attractive to the visitors.
So, we went there and observed the area.
This is a picture taken in the Botanical Garden from Yoga Lessons.
This is their page in facebook, which we enrich and promoted.
We design a mockup application which will promote the Votanical Garden. The user will have a profile and can see where he/she plant his/her seeds and learn more about the plants in a playful way. 
We designa a mockup Website so the user can learn more about the Botanical Garden.
This is an event took place in the Votanical Garden with greek traditional healty food cooked by the founders of Elichrysos non-goverment Organization. Other events take place are weddings, baptism e.t.c. 
Because Syros is a small island the most efficient and productive way of  promotion is from mouth-to-mouth.
Schools or tourist groups can go there for environmental trips.
This is one of the owner of the Votanical Garden, Elichrysos.
Most of the pictures on the project was taken by me.
