Burak Taşkesti, Head of Herbal Application of ABB Environmental Protection and Control Department, shared the following information about the application:
“We started the exchange like flowers, which we started with the aim of instilling nature and environmental awareness in people and conveying the right care information about plants, in the first place at Batıkent, Beşevler and now at Koru Metro Station.
