This transformation was made possible with the help of a very dedicated assistant who happened to have school holidays and excellent taste in wall décor. He also worked for cookies, which kept the project well under budget.
More panels are waiting for their green makeover. If you'd like to join the moss movement, panel-making sessions happen on a Friday here and there or during school holidays – extra hands (big or small) are always welcome, let me know! 🌿 Cookie-based compensation cannot be guaranteed, but good company and a greener ASTRON can. 🌿
