our trees


Our trees are hand-crafted at FANTOPLAST in Austria, using 100% regional recycled plastic. They are then brought to VILLAGE IM DRITTEN, where participants in our Florestania workshops create and attach leaves to the trees through injection molding, heat-sculpting, and hand-crafting from plastic waste.

Through this collective process, we reimagine waste while physically and symbolically growing a forest together. The completed Plastic Forest installation will be unveiled in a public exhibition on Tuesday, 16 September 2025, in the very space where it was created.

After the exhibition, these trees will be sold to raise funds for forest care projects, both locally and abroad. If you are interested in becoming a donor and supporting our mission, please contact us at transformplastic[a]florestania.at.



moringa tree


The Moringa Tree 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:
tree of life


Árbol Ceibo 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 palms


Two palm trees represent a symbol of balance, connection, and the spaces we create in between. Between them, we imagine a hammock — a place of rest, dreaming, and reflection. In the Amazon and beyond, palms offer shade, food, shelter, and a reminder that community is built not only in standing strong, but in holding space for one another. The space between the palms becomes a threshold, a gentle pause where imagination can take root.


walking palm


Our Walking Palm 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.
