Gardening
Inaugurating a very bright New Year, we are inviting you to an unforgettable walk under the endless sunshine of the eternal springtime in Athens! Log in, and enjoy the aromatic flowers, taste the rare fruits and explore the various species of plants that we are cultivating with such care and joy over the last months in our living rooms!
Responding to the most fruitful and mutand winter of our time, Zoumboulakis Gallery has created the first indoor botanical garden in the heart of the city center. A surreal approach to the current reality in Athens and the winter that never came.
