A view into a greener future at Călugăreni/Mikháza

DSC_0023Thanks to an initiative by the Barn Theatre Association, a total of 100 fruit trees were planted at Călugăreni/Mikháza on the 6th of March. Our museum participated in this project and planted 40 fruit trees at the Bellevue.

DSC_0045The varieties of apple and pear trees are all native to the region and were planted with the help of our colleagues and members of the local community.
