Betty’s Gardens are a wonderful nationwide project in Italy that combine solidarity with respect for the environment.

Elisabetta Salvioni Meletiou, the wife of Nicolas Meletiou, worked alongside her husband with dedication and grace in the creation and management of the esosport project until the day of her untimely death on July 2, 2011; the “Betty’s Garden” initiative is dedicated to her.

The project involves the creation or renovation of playgrounds made with safety surfacing produced through the process of recycling old sports shoes, tennis balls, bicycle tyres and inner tubes.
