adopt our trees

Our trees are unlike any other. Each one was fabricated at FANTOPLAST in Vienna, Austria, using 100% regional recycled plastic — giving discarded materials a second life.

The trees were then brought to VILLAGE IM DRITTEN, where participants in our Florestania workshops transformed plastic waste into leaves through injection molding, heat-sculpting, and hand-crafting. Through this collective process, a community comes together to physically and symbolically grow a forest — reimagining waste as something living, rooted, and meaningful.

Buy a Tree — Fund a Forest

By purchasing one of these handcrafted trees, you become part of our Florestania story. Every sale directly funds forest care projects, both locally in Austria and abroad.

moringa tree

H 180 x Ø 125 CM recycled PETG
Starting Price: 10.000 EUR

The Moringa Tree (Moringa oleifera) is a symbol of resilience, regeneration, and radical care. Known as the “miracle tree,” Moringa has been cherished for centuries for its potent medicinal properties: nourishing communities, purifying water, and healing the body. In many traditions, the moringa embodies generosity — offering its leaves, seeds, and roots freely to sustain life. It reminds us that abundance can coexist with simplicity, and that healing is both a personal and collective act.

árbol ceibo

H 216 x Ø 182 CM recycled PETG and PP
Starting Price: 15.000 EUR

Árbol Ceibo or “Tree of Life” (Ceiba pentandra) is a sacred tree across the Amazon and South America. With its towering red blooms and deep roots, the Ceibo is seen as a bridge between worlds — connecting sky, earth, and the unseen realms beneath. It stands for life, strength, and the interconnectedness of all beings. In many stories, its roots hold the memories of ancestors, while its crown shelters the future. The Ceibo reminds us that to grow upward, we must also root deeply into the stories and wisdom that came before us.

twin babassu palms

H 162 x Ø 190 CM H 175 x Ø 187 CM recycled PETG
Starting Price: 12.000 EUR

Our Twin Palms sculpture is modeled after the Babassu palm (Attalea speciosa), a life-sustaining tree native to the Amazon forest. For many Indigenous and rural communities, Babassu is a cornerstone of daily life, giving shade, food, shelter, and fuel. The image of twin palms appears in various cultures as a symbol of peaceful coexistence between two strong beings sharing the same ground while leaving space for each other to thrive. They stand as an emblem of diplomacy, reminding us that harmony and community is built not only in standing strong, but in holding space for one another. Between them, we imagine a hammock, a place of rest, dreaming, and reflection.

walking palm

H 211 x Ø 155 CM recycled PETG
Starting Price: 8.000 EUR

Our Walking Palm (Socratea exorrhiza) sculpture is a tribute to the Amazon’s adaptability and resilience. With its stilt-like roots, this remarkable tree can “walk” toward sunlight and richer soil, slowly repositioning itself to survive and thrive. The walking palm is a living metaphor for adaptability in changing environments — teaching us that movement, even when slow and deliberate, can be an act of strength. It shows that survival is not always about staying in one place, but about sensing where life can continue and daring to move toward it.
