Gaiocardium – Art for the Earth

During the Gaiocardium action in the Municipality of Xiromero, hundreds of children’s messages of love for nature were placed on the trees of the Varka area in Astakos.
The small wooden hearts became part of the landscape.

After the completion of the action, a new location was created on Google Maps with the name:
“Children’s Hearts”
so that the site remains visible and accessible to anyone visiting the area in the future.

Thus, the hearts do not remain only on the trees.
They also remain in the memory of the place.

If you ever find yourself in Astakos and visit the site, we would be happy if you share a photo with us.

Each heart is a small message of care.
Each tree is a silent recipient of this promise.
