During our journey through Germany, we visited the charming Bavarian town – Münchberg. This small town, located in a region of Upper Franconia, is known for its textile heritage and the surrounding green hills and forests. Though Münchberg is relatively small, it offers visitors tranquility, beautiful landscapes, and an authentic Bavarian atmosphere. Despite its traditional character, the town embraces innovation, surprising with its modern approach to urban space design.

In Münchberg, you can admire historic buildings and atmospheric streets, as well as carefully planned green public spaces. The town, caring for the comfort of its residents and visitors, integrates landscape architecture solutions that combine aesthetics with functionality in the urban landscape.

As a result, large planters, flower towers, and other green elements harmonize perfectly with the urban surroundings, creating a balanced space for living and relaxation. Münchberg demonstrates how even a small town can use creative solutions to make its space more welcoming and modern.

On our walk through the town, we came across impressive large Gianto Grande planters, which have become key elements in organizing the urban landscape. Positioned along the parking area, they separated it from the sidewalk and street, functioning as green-style barriers. These large planters provided structure and added both aesthetic and functional value to the public space.

Additionally, we encountered beautifully flowered towers and Plane Ring planters in Münchberg. Spread across various points of the town, these large planters brought life to the streets, adding color and a welcoming atmosphere.

An interesting feature of the Plane Ring planters is that they can serve not only in a traditional role but also as small urban meadows. Due to their low height and wide rim, they are ideal for planting wild plants, creating natural resting areas for passersby. Furthermore, their wide rim serves as an additional seating space, functioning as a bench.

This practical solution allows both residents and tourists to take a break surrounded by greenery.

It’s a great example of how large planters can enhance the quality of public space, combining functionality with a green, friendly design and added convenience in the form of seating areas.

Large planters, especially even larger ones like the Gianto Grande, are excellent as green barriers separating different spaces, such as parking lots from sidewalks or streets. This is an especially practical solution since large planters can house expansive trees that provide shade for parked cars in the summer. These types of planters not only help organize space but also bring elements of nature into the urban landscape, blending functionality with aesthetics and creating a welcoming environment for residents and users of public spaces.

Join us in our next post, where we’ll visit the town of Rödental!

We’ll give you a sneak peek—it’s a real inspiration for anyone involved in designing public spaces, especially those meant for both recreation and education. You won’t want to miss it!

Today, we’re taking you on a trip to the picturesque city of Gera, where we’re starting our series of posts about the German cities we visited during our tour this year. And this is just the beginning – we still have 15 amazing places in Germany ahead of us, and from each city, we’ve captured fantastic photos for you! 📸

During this journey, we discovered impressive urban compositions full of flowers and plants. Colorful planters, beautiful flower beds, and even extraordinary urban decorations suspended above – all of this created an atmosphere that took our breath away. 🌺🌿 Today, we begin with Gera and its amazing polyethylene planters. The city opted for solutions from Terra Group, specifically the Gianto line, which fills public spaces with incredible colors and shapes. In Gera, you’ll find both Gianto Classic and Gianto Grande planters – and altogether, the city has a whopping 96 of these planters! 🌈 A true explosion of colors and forms that transform squares and streets into vibrant, lively spaces.

Why are polyethylene planters such a great choice? Here are some of their advantages:

• Weather resistance – Polyethylene performs excellently in changing weather conditions, it doesn’t fade in the sun, and its lightweight makes transport and installation easy.
• Heat reduction – In large planters like the Gianto models, you can plant greenery that absorbs heat from the surroundings, helping to reduce temperatures in concrete urban areas, which is especially important during summer.
• Support for insects – The plants in these planters are not only decorative but also provide food and shelter for pollinating insects like bees and butterflies, positively impacting the local ecosystem.
• Water circulation – The right structure of the planters ensures optimal watering of the plants, preventing both drying out and overwatering.

We can’t forget the immense work done by both city administrations and gardeners to make urban spaces so beautiful. 👏 Daily care for the plants requires a lot of dedication, and the result is spectacular – a perfect blend of well-thought-out solutions and people lovingly tending to these plants.

These planters are incredibly interesting and versatile! 🌸🌾 In spring and summer, they can be filled with blooming plants that add color to urban spaces. In autumn, they serve as the perfect base for creating interesting arrangements with ornamental grasses, heather, pumpkins, and pine cones that bring an autumnal atmosphere to the city. 🍂🎃

And in winter? Terra Group offers a special solution – compatible attachments for the planters that turn them into charming Christmas trees! 🎄 In the Gianto Classic planters, they look especially impressive, creating a festive atmosphere in urban spaces. What does this mean? The Gianto Classic planters are much more versatile than they seem! They can change their character throughout the year, adapting to the seasons and aesthetic needs. It’s an investment that brings joy all year round. 🌿❄️

Gera deserves high praise for how beautifully it has utilized public spaces, and we’re excited to show you these wonderful compositions.

And what awaits you in the next post? The city of Zeitz! Palaces, fiberglass art, flowers, and fountains await – straight out of a fairytale. 🌸💦 You won’t want to miss it!

Check out the rest of the photos from Gera and see you next week!

• Color Durability: The plant pots maintain their color for years, not fading under UV rays.

Design and Functionality

nuno’ni is not just about plant pots – they are true works of art. We play with form and colors in our designs, creating modern plant pots that add character to any space. Our products result from collaborations with talented artists, allowing us to create unique and inspiring forms.

Social Responsibility

Hanging flower pots can create truly impressive compositions that catch the eye. Proof? Elbląg, whose space has been adorned with these models, has received the greatest appreciation from its residents. This hanging flower pot offers many benefits: it guarantees beautifully flowered street lamps and a unique effect above the heads of passersby. The flowers planted in it have the best conditions for growth and quickly create colorful compositions even in places without natural soil.

On the small space of this hanging flower pot (model W 600/2), a maximum number of seedlings can be gathered. Just 35 young plants can achieve a satisfying visual effect at a lower financial cost.

It is an effective tool for decorating street lamps, especially in less extensive areas without ground soil.

Sometimes less is more – this is the case with the cascading flower pot model W600/2. Thanks to this decoration, hung on street lamps, you can easily create the effect of blooming balls and colorful accents in the most important points of squares, parks, markets, or avenues. Hanging flower pots are also an ideal solution for places with limited space, where traditional plantings can be difficult to implement.

Practical Benefits of Hanging Flower Pots

Introducing hanging flower pots on street lamps is not only an aesthetic revolution but also a practical solution. Models W 600/2 are characterized by ease of installation and minimal maintenance requirements. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, these flower pots are resistant to various weather conditions, ensuring their longevity.

Positive Impact of Urban Greenery

Greening cities has an invaluable impact on improving the quality of life for residents. Green cities, full of colorful plants, promote better well-being and mental health. Studies show that being around greenery reduces stress, improves mood, and increases creativity. The colors of flowers also have a huge impact on psychology – bright and vivid colors, such as yellow, red, or pink, stimulate the senses and add energy, while greens and blues have a calming and relaxing effect.

Additionally, flowers in urban flower pots play a crucial role in the ecosystem, especially for bees and other pollinators that lack natural food sources. Planting nectar-rich flowers in urban pots supports biodiversity and helps protect these important insects.

Example of Elbląg

Elbląg is an excellent example of how modern solutions can transform urban space into a blooming paradise. Residents appreciate the aesthetics and functionality of hanging flower pots, which not only decorate but also improve the quality of life in the city. Street lamps filled with lush plants have become a symbol of modern urbanism, where greenery plays a key role.

Hanging flower pots model W 600/2 are an investment that brings tangible benefits both visually and practically. Their use in Elbląg shows how simple solutions can create a friendly space for residents, full of colors and life. We encourage other cities to undertake similar initiatives and draw inspiration from the example of Elbląg. Let’s collectively take care of our urban spaces, adding charm and green freshness with hanging flower pots.

Urban green spaces play a pivotal role in creating healthy, functional, and sustainable environments. Landscape architects and urban planners have the crucial task of designing areas that enrich residents’ lives in multiple ways. Here are six essential tips on how to leverage urban greenery to enhance air quality and people’s well-being.

1. Enhancing Air Quality

1.1. Using Trees to Filter Air

Trees are incredibly effective in improving air quality. Through processes like photosynthesis and transpiration, trees absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen (O2). Additionally, leaves and branches capture dust and other air pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and ozone (O3). Planting suitable tree species along streets, in parks, and on squares can significantly improve air quality.

Example: The “MillionTreesNYC” program in New York demonstrated that increasing the number of trees in the city effectively reduces levels of particulate matter and other pollutants.

Even without images from the “MillionTreesNYC” initiative, we offer an excellent solution for concrete-covered spaces where traditional tree planting is not possible.

In such areas, XXL planters can accommodate even large trees, making them ideal for places lacking traditional planting space.

XXL planters enable the introduction of greenery into areas where conventional tree planting isn’t feasible, such as plazas, pedestrian zones, or around buildings. These planters are mobile and can be easily relocated, offering flexibility in space management.

Moreover, these planters can be customized in various colors and even personalized with a logo, city crest, flag, or any desired inscription, allowing them to meet specific aesthetic and branding needs.

They are perfect for enriching urban spaces while offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

1.2. Green Walls and Roofs in Event Spaces and Offices

Green walls, or vertical gardens, and green roofs are becoming increasingly popular in event spaces and offices. These innovative installations not only enhance the aesthetics of interiors but also bring numerous health and environmental benefits.

Benefits of Green Walls and Roofs:

• Air Quality Improvement: Plants on green walls and roofs filter the air, reducing levels of pollutants and dust, creating healthier environments both indoors and outdoors.
• Aesthetic and Atmosphere: Green walls add elegance and natural charm to event spaces and offices. They can serve as focal points that attract attention and provide a serene background.
• Noise Reduction: Plants on green walls act as natural sound barriers, absorbing and reducing noise, improving indoor acoustics.
• Cooling Effect: Green roofs and walls help regulate building temperatures, reducing the need for air conditioning and lowering energy costs.
• Increased Productivity and Well-being: Studies show that the presence of plants in workplaces can boost productivity and enhance employee well-being.
• Green walls at events create a natural backdrop and friendly atmosphere.

In event spaces, green walls can create unique scenery and foster a sense of closeness to nature. In offices, they introduce elements of greenery that promote relaxation and can reduce employee stress.

Our green walls can be tailored to the client’s specific needs, offering a variety of plant species and unique compositions. They can also be personalized by adding company logos, city crests, or other decorative elements, making them ideal for both offices and event venues.

Example: In London, green roofs are used in public and commercial buildings, helping absorb pollutants and reduce the need for air conditioning.

2. Noise Reduction

2.1. Using Vegetation as Acoustic Screens

Plants, including trees and shrubs, can significantly dampen noise. Densely arranged plants act as natural sound barriers, absorbing, dispersing, and blocking street noise. Planting trees along major thoroughfares or around residential areas helps reduce noise levels and creates a more peaceful urban environment.

Example: In Berlin, green walls and plant screens are used along highways, significantly reducing noise in neighboring districts.

2.2. Creating Quiet Rest Zones

Urban parks and gardens can serve as zones of tranquility and rest in noisy cities. These areas, with strategically placed trees and shrubs, offer places for relaxation and stress reduction. Designing green spaces with acoustic comfort in mind contributes to the improved quality of life for residents.

Our Approach: XXL Planters with Trees

We present our unique solution: XXL planters with trees, perfect for creating quiet rest zones in areas where traditional planting is impossible.

Benefits:

• Flexibility and Mobility
• Aesthetics and Customization
• Noise Reduction
• Ease of Maintenance

Our XXL planters are already used in various locations in Poland, creating friendly and relaxing spaces in shopping centers, urban parks, and events.

Example: Urban parks in Tokyo are designed to provide quiet spaces for relaxation, despite the city’s reputation for intense traffic and noise.

3. Impact on Residents’ Well-being

3.1. Promoting Mental Health through Contact with Nature

Contact with nature has proven positive effects on mental health. Spending time in urban green spaces reduces stress, improves mood, and increases overall happiness. Designing urban spaces with ample greenery can support residents’ mental health.

Example: Research in London found that access to parks and green spaces correlates with lower rates of depression and anxiety.

3.2. Encouraging Physical Activity

Urban green spaces, such as parks, squares, and walking paths, encourage physical activity. Regular walking, running, cycling, or exercising outdoors is crucial for maintaining physical and mental health. Landscape architects can design spaces that promote physical activity among residents.

Example: In Amsterdam, green bike paths with greenery are an integral part of the urban infrastructure, promoting a healthy lifestyle and increasing physical activity levels.

4. Building Strong Communities

4.1. Creating Spaces for Social Interaction

Urban greenery supports social interactions, which are crucial for building strong and integrated communities. Parks, squares, and community gardens are places where people can meet, talk, and spend time together. Designing these spaces with social gatherings in mind helps build bonds among residents.

Example: The “Community Gardens” program in San Francisco creates places where neighbors can meet, collaborate, and build relationships, strengthening local communities.

4.2. Shaping Friendly Public Spaces

Urban green spaces can also be designed to be welcoming to different age groups and social demographics. Creating spaces that are accessible and attractive to everyone promotes inclusivity and supports social diversity.

Example: Numerous green parks and squares in Paris are designed with the needs of various social groups in mind, fostering integration and active engagement among residents.

5. Supporting Biodiversity

5.1. Protecting Habitats for Wildlife

Urban greenery creates micro-ecosystems that provide habitats for many species of plants and animals. These areas support biodiversity and are crucial for the ecological health of cities. Designing green spaces with wildlife protection in mind supports ecological balance.

Example: Urban botanical gardens in Singapore are home to hundreds of species of plants, insects, and birds, enriching biodiversity in the city’s heart.

Our Approach: Green Corridors with XXL Planters

Our XXL planters with trees can play a key role in creating urban ecological corridors. They enable the introduction of greenery in places where traditional tree planting is impossible, such as narrow streets or concrete plazas. These planters can be strategically placed to connect different green areas in the city, creating a network of green corridors. Their mobility and customization options allow them to adapt to specific urban needs.

Benefits:

• Support for Wildlife: XXL planters allow for the creation of connections between different green areas, facilitating animal migration.
• Flexibility: Easy to place and move planters as needed.
• Aesthetics and Functionality: Planters can be tailored to the surrounding aesthetics, making them attractive elements of the urban landscape.
• Customization: Available in various colors and can be decorated with city logos, crests, or other elements.
• Our XXL planters are excellent tools for creating green corridors in cities, supporting biodiversity and the health of urban ecosystems. Even in heavily urbanized areas, they help sustain natural ecological processes.

Urban greenery plays a crucial role in enhancing the quality of life in cities. It improves air quality, reduces noise, supports residents’ mental and physical health, and contributes to biodiversity conservation and climate adaptation. Investing in green infrastructure is an investment in the future of our cities and the well-being of their residents.

Inspiration from Our Projects

As a company specializing in small architecture, we have had the pleasure of participating in many projects that transformed urban spaces through the use of XXL planters and green walls. Check out our gallery for some of our successful implementations:

Świnoujście Delights Once Again!

The colorful and lush flower towers have made their appearance on the streets of Świnoujście once again, adding vibrancy and freshness to the urban landscape. This year, the city has opted for exceptionally beautiful plant arrangements that captivate passersby with their diversity and brightness.

A Floral Spectacle on the Beloved Towers

This year’s flower towers feature a stunning array of Surfinia and Begonia, filling the planters with a rich palette of colors, ranging from intense reds to delicate pastel shades. But that’s not all – among these compositions, one can also spot Pelargoniums, adding an extra touch of charm. These flowers are not only a feast for the eyes but also a vital source of nectar for pollinating insects, which is crucial in the context of environmental protection.

A Harmony of Aesthetics and Ecology

For years, Świnoujście has taken great care of the aesthetics of its public spaces while maintaining a strong commitment to ecological responsibility. The flower towers are not just decorations but also a part of the city’s strategy for sustainable development. Through initiatives like this, the city promotes the concept of being “green,” striving to create a space that is friendly to both people and nature. It’s a beautiful example of how aesthetics can go hand in hand with ecology.

Thank You for the Inspiration

Special thanks go to the Facebook profile Świnoujście moim Ogrodem (Świnoujście, My Garden), which regularly and passionately reports on the development of green spaces in the city. Thanks to their updates, we can continually admire how Świnoujście blossoms and becomes an even greener place. It’s through such initiatives that we get to enjoy the stunning views of the flower towers and feel inspired to take care of our environment.

Visit Świnoujście!

If you’re looking for a place that combines the beauty of nature, environmental care, and a unique atmosphere, Świnoujście is a destination worth visiting. Strolling through its streets feels like walking in a garden full of colors and fragrances.

In search of summer, let’s dive into the magical and colorful floral displays that have appeared in Elbląg. Thanks to the courtesy and very pleasant contact with the Municipal Greenery Management profile on Facebook, we can share with you fantastic photos of the planters currently gracing this coastal city!

1. Energetic Gianto Sito Planters

This year, Elbląg has embraced color, with planters in three energetic shades: yellow, green, and red, adorning the streets. These beautifully flowered planters encourage residents to take walks. Just look at how wonderfully these compositions present themselves, especially up close!

The Sito planters are not only decorative but also practical. They are designer, large planters with a round base, with a bottom adapted for transport with a pallet truck. Made from durable materials, they guarantee high resistance to damage. The specially designed shape allows them to function as a seat or a sandbox. This is an excellent example of how aesthetics can go hand in hand with functionality.

2. Unique Red Gianto Plane Ring Planters

Another extraordinary proposition is the red Gianto Plane Ring planters. These planters not only decorate the space but also serve a practical function – you can sit on them and enjoy the diverse vegetation after shopping. Made of solid and lightweight polyethylene, these planters are adorned with a decorative ring at the top of the structure, giving them a unique character.

Gianto Plane Ring planters fit perfectly into modern urban arrangements. They are ideal for arranging spaces such as offices, universities, corporate buildings, and hotels. Their elegant design and practical application make them an indispensable element of the urban landscape.

3. Modern Colorful Cube Planters

Finally, we have a novelty – colorful Cube planters! These cubic metal planters can be ordered in any color, from monochrome black or gray to multicolored. Cube planters are large enough to plant trees that will provide shade in the summer where it is lacking.

Cube planters are a true work of art that can be tailored to individual needs and preferences. Their universal design makes them suitable for various arrangement styles, from modern to classic. This is a perfect example of how functionality can be combined with aesthetics, creating friendly and beautiful public spaces.

Inspiration from Abroad and Trends in Urban Greenery

Until recently, we looked at foreign countries with a hint of envy, where investments in flowers, trees, and colors have been made for a long time. In many cities around the world, urban greenery is a priority, and public spaces are carefully planned and decorated. Elbląg follows in the footsteps of these cities, introducing innovative and aesthetic solutions into its public space.

Urban greenery is not only a matter of aesthetics but also ecology and public health. Plants in urban spaces help purify the air, reduce noise, and create a microclimate conducive to relaxation. It’s an investment in the future that brings tangible benefits.

Color in Public Spaces: Importance and Impact

Color in public spaces plays a key role in creating friendly and attractive places. Colorful floral compositions and designer planters not only improve the city’s aesthetics but also affect the well-being of residents and visitors. Color has the ability to attract attention, evoke emotions, and create a positive atmosphere.

In Elbląg, it is evident how significant well-designed public space elements are. Gianto Sito, Gianto Plane Ring, and Cube planters not only enrich the city’s landscape but also create places for rest and relaxation. This is a great example of how investments in the aesthetics of public spaces can benefit both residents and tourists.

The Future of Colorful Spaces

We are proud to contribute to the development and beautification of our cities. Elbląg is a perfect example of how colorful planters can change the face of public spaces, bringing life and energy to them. Congratulations to the cities and their management – we know it’s not the easiest job, but the results are truly impressive.

Small urban architecture plays a crucial role in shaping the aesthetics and functionality of urban landscapes. Benches, trash bins, planters, pergolas, bus shelters, and lighting elements are details that have a significant impact on the comfort, safety, and overall perception of urban space by its users.

The Role and Importance of Small Urban Architecture

Improving the Aesthetics of Urban Spaces

One of the main tasks of small urban architecture is to enhance the aesthetics of public spaces. Carefully selected elements such as stylish benches, colorful planters, or modern streetlights can significantly raise the visual standard of a city, creating a cohesive and thoughtfully designed urban landscape.

Increasing Functionality and Comfort

Small urban architecture is primarily about practical elements that make everyday life in the city easier. Benches provide a place to rest, trash bins help maintain cleanliness, and lighting increases safety after dark. Each of these elements contributes to improving the quality of life for residents.

Impact on the Local Community

Small urban architecture also has a significant impact on the life of the local community. Places such as playgrounds or small amphitheaters become points of meeting, integration, and community development. They promote building human relationships and activating residents.

Key Elements of Small Urban Architecture

• Benches: Allow for rest and are places for observing city life.
• Trash bins: Help keep public spaces clean.
• Planters and small greenery: Introduce elements of nature into the urban landscape, improving air quality and aesthetics.

Parking lots – those mundane, uninspiring spaces typically associated with waiting and monotony. But what if we transformed them into vibrant havens by adding colossal planters bursting with colorful flowers and lush greenery? Discover how XXL planters in parking lots are evolving beyond mere functionality, becoming a captivating solution to breathe life into the urban landscape.

Elevating Aesthetics:

Gianto (and similar) large planters are dynamic design elements capable of infusing character and allure into even the most lackluster parking lots. These versatile containers, hosting a diverse range of plants from vibrant flowers to petite trees, create a visual feast for visitors. By introducing greenery, parking lots not only become more appealing but also invite a positive ambiance, benefiting users and enhancing the overall social environment.

Embracing massive planters in parking areas opens up a realm of possibilities for seasonal decorations, transforming spaces with colorful blooms in spring, shady trees in summer, ornamental grasses and shrubs in fall, and festive atmospheres with Christmas trees in winter.

This approach not only enhances the aesthetics of parking lots but also turns the journey from the lot to nearby destinations into a visually pleasing experience, uplifting spirits year-round.

Sustainable Development and Bee Protection:

In the face of expanding concrete jungles, finding green spaces in cities poses a challenge. Large planters in parking lots not only enhance the urban landscape but also act as sanctuaries for our vital friends – bees!

These planters don’t just add color but also provide a significant dose of natural joy. We give a voice to those without it – the bees! Through vibrant containers, we create a unique realm for them, supporting biodiversity and reveling in plant pollination.

By introducing greenery into parking lots, we become not just enhancers of urban corners but also environmental stewards. Our ecological initiatives are essential for:

Improving air quality

Providing respite on hot days

Mitigating the urban heat island effect

Offering shelter for pollinators

Reducing surface runoff of rainwater

Let’s actively contribute to crafting “Green Urban Spaces” with a smile, as our embrace of greenery visually conquers the concrete jungle while championing eco-friendliness!

Enhancing User Comfort:

Improving user comfort isn’t just about elegance; it’s an artful blend of benches and loungers with planters, turning the parking space experience into a genuine adventure!

XXL planters not only add aesthetics but play a pivotal role in daily life. Picture this: after parting ways with your partner in a store, you decide to “meet at the car.” Exiting the store, a picturesque bench surrounded by flowers appears next to your car, inviting you to a moment of relaxation. The heat becomes more bearable, shaded by a charming little tree. Now, instead of enduring boredom in a lifeless parking lot, you can sit on a bench surrounded by greenery, waiting stylishly, like a true garden artist!

Safety and Protection:

Safety in parking lots is a non-negotiable priority. Large planters aren’t just decorations; they act as effective protective barriers, precisely segregating pedestrian areas and vehicle traffic. Especially in crowded lots, they serve as an additional protective layer, significantly reducing the risk of potential accidents.

These planters can effectively function as barriers in no-parking zones, deterring drivers from illegally leaving their vehicles.

This solution not only enhances the aesthetics but also effectively prevents violations, creating a clear boundary between parking areas and restricted zones.

Introducing large planters in parking lots is a stride toward transforming urban spaces into appealing and functional areas. With greenery, improved aesthetics, environmental benefits, and safety, large planters become indispensable in modern, sustainable, and inviting urban landscapes. They provide residents and visitors with greener and more enjoyable spaces for parking and exploration, aligning with the evolving vision of urban spaces. As cities develop, these parking lot solutions will play a pivotal role in enhancing urban life quality and urban design aesthetics.

Take Command and Breathe Life In!

While immersing yourself in this article, have you pondered how to revitalize your space and infuse it with new life? If the concept of XXL planters has piqued your interest, fantastic! It’s not just an innovative approach to space design but also an opportunity to transform dull, lifeless areas.

When the colorful autumn palette unveils its charm in Zielona Góra, Poland, something truly magical happens. European cities are known for their ageless beauty, and Zielona Góra is no exception. Its historical streets and charming townhouses conceal treasures and stories from centuries past. Cozy cafes and parks invite visitors into a world full of romance and nostalgia.

However, it is in autumn that Zielona Góra truly comes to life. When the leaves fall, and the world takes on a golden hue, the cityscape transforms into a breathtaking paradise. Morning mists add a mysterious atmosphere, and the city feels inspired to emphasize the beauty of this season even more.

It is during these moments that those responsible for the city’s appearance turn to us, and we eagerly respond by adorning their city with charming autumn decorations. We have numerous creative ideas for capturing the essence of this season, and in our company, you will discover various options, each designed to enhance the magic of autumn in your city.

Staying true to rich autumn traditions, our arrangements include deep purple or burgundy heathers, decorative cabbages, and vibrant chrysanthemums. These flowers, known for their resilience and symbolism, add depth to the cityscape.

Zielona Góra: Where Autumn Reigns

One of the cities that has especially embraced the spirit of autumn is Zielona Góra. Known for its scenic landscapes and historical charm, Zielona Góra recognized the importance of celebrating this season in all its glory. It decided to create an autumnal paradise, and Terra Group had the privilege of being chosen for this task. Thanks to the amount of flowers, Zielona Góra has transformed into an autumn garden that delights the hearts and senses of its residents.

Chrysanthemums: Symbols of Remembrance

Chrysanthemums hold a special place in our hearts because they weave rich, nostalgic tales. In Poland, they symbolize All Saints’ Day, when families remember and honor their deceased loved ones by decorating graves with these colorful flowers. Their connection to this tradition makes them an excellent choice for our autumn decorations.

The Rustic Charm of Nature

Zielona Góra, in collaboration with Terra Group, has taken the spirit of autumn to a new level. In addition to live flowers, it introduced dry grasses to its urban garden. These grasses gently sway in the cool autumn breeze, adding a natural and rustic charm to the cityscape, enriching the appeal of this season in the city.

Time for Reflection and Connection

Autumn is a time for embracing change, celebrating the beauty of nature’s transformations, and showing respect for traditions that have endured for centuries. Zielona Góra, in all its magnificent splendor, captured the essence of this season. Thanks to our passion for creating unforgettable and meaningful decorations, Terra Group had the privilege of participating in this endeavor.

We are here to make your autumn experience truly exceptional. Contact us and let Terra Group turn your vision of autumn enchantment into reality. Whether you are considering a decorative project or have specific ideas in mind, we are ready to hear from you. Your adventure into the magical world of autumn in Zielona Góra begins now. Contact us today, and together, let’s create the magic of autumn!

As we witness the vibrant colors of autumn unfolding in Zielona Góra and cities around the world, we are reminded of the eternal beauty this season brings. Autumn is a time for reflection, connection, and profound gratitude for the ever-changing work of nature. As colorful leaves paint the city in their golden tones, we invite you to discover Zielona Góra and immerse yourself in the magic of autumn.

In the world of interior and exterior design, versatility is key. People seek creative ways to make the most of their resources, minimize waste, and embrace eco-friendly practices. In my family, we’ve found a unique approach to all these concerns: we use old newspapers as wrapping paper for holidays, paired with natural twine. This not only lends packages a beautiful, rustic charm but also lets us give a second life to something that might otherwise end up in a landfill. While classic black-and-white newspapers with that nostalgic ink smell are the favorites, even colorful magazines can be upcycled with a simple addition of colored ribbons and bows.

But what does this have to do with a large planter, you may wonder? Well, it’s all about finding year-round uses for everyday items. A large planter, such as the GIANTO, can be a fantastic addition to your home or outdoor space. Many people primarily associate planters with blooming flowers, but the possibilities go far beyond that.

Transforming Your Planter with the Seasons

Every season has its unique characteristics and charms, and there are endless ways to adapt your planter’s decor to match the time of year. Let’s explore some of our favorite ideas:

Spring (Wiosna) :

• Embrace fresh flowers and delicate pastel colors.
• Use the planter as a centerpiece adorned with tulips, daffodils, or magnolias.
• Enhance it with light pastel ribbons and bows for that springtime allure.

Summer (Lato) :

• Bring the summer vibe with colorful parasols and straws.
• Hang decorative seashells, beads, or pom-poms for a playful summer look.

Fall (Jesień) :

• Fill the planter with autumn leaves, pumpkins, or acorns.
• Complement with warm, earthy colors like orange, brown, and red in your ribbons and bows.

Winter (Zima) :

• Create a winter wonderland with evergreen branches, artificial snow, or miniature Christmas ornaments.
• Decorate with white or silver ribbons and bows for a touch of frosty elegance.

Beyond Seasonal Adaptation:

Beyond seasonal adaptation, a large planter like the GIANTO offers endless creative possibilities. You can use it for more than just flowers; it’s a canvas waiting for your artistic touch. Think outside the box:

• Trees: Plant small trees, turning your space into a mini urban forest.
• Christmas Trees: Don’t forget Christmas trees; they look stunning in colorful planters.
• Artistic Compositions: Explore artistic compositions like overflowing planters with pumpkins or chrysanthemums.

But your planter doesn’t have to stand upright all the time; it can also lie down. Some cities use this approach to create unique arrangements with changing flora and decorations every season.

Adding a Creative Spin

Cities and towns worldwide are adopting long-term solutions for their decorations. Think of these products as jewelry for your city, pieces that can adorn your urban landscape year after year, whether it’s an evening gala or a casual day out.

Celebrating Each Season:

For warm seasons, you can opt for floral decorations and leafy trees in your large planters. The vibrant colors will infuse energy, and the foliage creates a pleasant atmosphere. Studies have shown that greenery has a calming effect and positively impacts our well-being.

Ideas for Each Season:

• Spring and Summer: Go for vibrant floral arrangements and leafy trees.
• Autumn: Choose a blend of trees, ivy, grasses, and heathers, and slowly introduce chrysanthemums.
• Winter: Let your large planters take center stage with small trees, and during the holiday season, decorate them with festive ornaments.

Embracing the Winter Chill

It’s a common belief that during winter, we need to dig up our plants and store our decorations. But with durable planters like the GIANTO, you can still enjoy vibrant colors during the winter months. However, they don’t need to remain empty. Many cities have employed planters to create winter wonderlands, with Christmas trees at the heart of the decor. In some cases, they’ve even replaced ornaments with red hearts for Valentine’s Day, adding a delightful twist to the holiday season.

Continual Inspiration

We’re thrilled that a single product can serve multiple purposes. The configurations from various cities worldwide inspire us to continue evolving and thinking outside the box. Lying planters are a creative, unconventional idea that allows almost anything to become part of your arrangement, even scattered gift packages. We can’t wait to see the fresh ideas this year will bring.

Our journey began with the art of reusing old newspapers as eco-friendly wrapping paper, a simple yet charming way to add a personal touch to holiday gifting. This approach not only saves resources but also transforms something destined for the trash into a work of art. Just like that, we found a parallel with how we can approach large planters – turning them into year-round showcases of creativity.

As we explored each season, we uncovered a wealth of ideas to transform our planters. From the fresh, pastel beauty of spring to the vibrant exuberance of summer, the warm and cozy embrace of autumn, and the frosty elegance of winter, your large planter can be a reflection of the changing world outside. But this is just the beginning.

The possibilities are endless when it comes to crafting unique expressions with your planter. Embrace small trees, mini urban forests, or Christmas trees, and explore artistic compositions that overflow with life. These planters can be a part of your creative canvas year-round, telling a unique story for each season.

Additionally, planters can lay the foundation for urban landscapes, offering cities and towns a sustainable, long-term solution for outdoor decorations. Whether it’s a bustling evening gala or a peaceful day out, these planters become the city’s jewelry, able to adapt and shine year after year.

With nature-inspired hues, your planter can celebrate each season’s unique charm. Studies have shown that the presence of greenery has a calming effect and positively impacts well-being. These long-lasting planters can serve as the ultimate canvas for expressing the changing moods and colors of the seasons.

And when the winter chill sets in, don’t think of your planter as needing to hibernate. With their durability and adaptability, these planters can keep your surroundings vibrant even during the cold months. Christmas trees, hearts for Valentine’s Day – the possibilities are as varied as the seasons themselves.

In a world that’s constantly evolving, these planters serve as a timeless medium for creativity. As we draw inspiration from cities worldwide, we look forward to continually evolving and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. The story of lying planters, creative and unconventional, opens up endless opportunities for art and expression, even the most unexpected ones.

So, as you consider your planter transformations, we invite you to embrace the ever-changing seasons, to celebrate the flow of life, and to let your creativity bloom year-round. What’s your favorite season for planter transformations?

“In nature, we find the beauty that inspires the soul.”

It’s long been known that during our work day we look for a few minutes just for ourselves to regenerate, collect our thoughts and breathe. Some of us go to drink coffee, other go outside. People go outside, and where do they go? It turns out that the vast majority are looking for a quiet place close to nature. Our brain rests best around trees, grass and flowers. Saturated colors fill us with energy and willingness to act. The rustle of leaves soothes our nerves and calms our thoughts. Of course, we don’t always have available space with trees and meadows, but even in the urban jungle you can relax close to nature.

Today, we would like to present to you some of our projects, along with photos from the cities where our implementation took place.

For us, the most important thing was the combination of steppingstone, numerous colors, interesting design and nature. The combination of these features and needs resulted in projects that had never been dreamed of before. We are happy to see our products that have traveled to the other end of the world. Unfortunately, we will not be able to share everything. So we selected photos for you that show the diversity which we want to share.

The first city we want to present you is the Austrian city of Attnang-Puchheim, which has chosen GIANTO SITO flower pots – many of us also use them as benches. Who wouldn’t want to go out for a break and sit on a giant flowerpot? Or at least put a cup of coffee on it and look at the clouds… We like that!

Another Austrian city, Söll, chose colors, because when the world is becoming grayer and the day at work becomes monotonous, colors will give us dynamism and enthusiasm for further action! Of course, our offer includes neutral versions, but we admit it ourselves – the more color, the more life!

The Austrians used flower pots from the GIANTO series. They have also used WAVE benches, thanks to which they can already enjoy a break in an undeveloped place. Our modular WAVE benches can be freely combined so everyone can create a unique space. Don’t like such saturated colors? No problem. There is a whole catalog of shades!

In the Czech city of Zvolen, very elegant (in our opinion) compositions appeared. The concrete-gray of the PLANE RING LUX flower pots and the crimson red of the flowers created a unique, stylish, and luxurious effect. Comfort and chic – this is what Czechs focus on!

Finally, we will introduce you to two more German cities – Stadt Gütersloh and Dreieich. A lot has happened here this year. The Germans focused not only on pastels and modern patterns, but also bright colors, which we have already seen above. But it is not everything! In addition to the explosion of color and design, natural classicism also appears in theese cities. GIANTO flower pots and ZEBRA benches from the TERRA CITY series appeared in Stadt Gütersloh. Beautiful choices please the eyes.

In Dreieich, there are URBANA, ZEBRA and WAVE benches. Some are very reminiscent of the old style, which we all miss sometimes. Modern seating, made of modern material, visually resembling wood – this is our solution. It’s nice to see such a variety of choices!

Where would you sit for your break?

In cities with little space to arrange, creating friendly and aesthetically pleasing public areas is a significant challenge. For urban planners and architects, it is a particularly difficult task if one wants to achieve harmony between functionality and economy, as well as preserving the character of a given city. The solution that is gaining popularity and attracting attention with its originality are hanging floral decorations. The hanging Flower Towers can become not only a charming element, but also a practical tool for the development of urban spaces.

Also, they have great potential in transforming the image and atmosphere of cities, especially those with limited space, where traditional methods of arranging greenery are often limited.

Benefits of using hanging floral decorations in cities with smaller areas

The use of hanging floral decorations in cities with smaller areas brings many benefits, both for the residents and the whole city. These charming decorations are an innovative solution for urban planners and architects, who are trying to add character and beauty to public spaces, which have limited development options.

What are the key benefits of hanging floral decorations in urban space?

• Revitalizing gray urban space — one of the key benefits associated with hanging flower decorations in city centers. Gray and monotonous urban spaces, consisting of concrete buildings, sidewalks and roads, can seem cold and impersonal. By adding colorful, vibrant flowers here, you can entirely change the atmosphere of the city, giving it a more pleasant feel. It’s also a great way to express opposition to the concreting of entire city centers.
• Improving the health and well-being of residents and visitors — bringing plants into city centers can have a wonderful effect on the health of residents. Urban greenery, such as hanging floral decorations, plants in pots, and flower meadows, for example, have a positive impact on the physical and mental health of residents, helping to improve the quality of life in the city. Communing with nature has a scientifically proven relaxing and stress-reducing effect. Urban greenery and the presence of plants in the city center allow residents to take a break from the urban hustle and bustle and calm down for a while. Walking among floral decorations or spending time in parks can help reduce levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, and bring relief during difficult times.
• Social integration and creating friendly corners — plants and floral decorations give city centers a nice and relaxing atmosphere. Urban greenery is conducive to creating pleasant spots that encourage spending time outdoors and meeting friends or family. Such places become natural meeting points where residents can spend time together, talk and integrate. In addition, they often provide an ideal backdrop for various social and cultural activities.
• Ecological value of decorations for local biodiversity — the hanging Flower Towers act as a bridge between the urban environment and the natural ecosystem. They bring nature to the city, providing a place for local insects, birds and small mammals, which find shelter and food among these plants. Besides, hanging floral decorations bring variety to the urban landscape, attracting different species of insects and birds. This in turn creates an ecologically sustainable space where urban flora and fauna coexist and support each other. Importantly, the presence of floral elements encourages pollinating insects such as bees and butterflies to visit the city. These little creatures play an extremely important role in the pollination of plants, including those species that are grown in gardens and on balconies. By supporting their presence, the city contributes to pollination and the development of vegetation.

Practical aspects of bringing hanging floral decorations in cities with small areas

The introduction of hanging floral decorations in cities with smaller areas involves a number of practical aspects that need to be taken into account when planning and implementing such an initiative. Cities with limited space for development require creative solutions to maintain harmony between aesthetics, functionality, and sustainability. What is worth paying attention to?

Choosing the right plant species

Choosing the right plant species is a key element in launching hanging floral decorations into cities with smaller areas. Properly selected plants are not only an added value to the aesthetics of the urban space, but also they have a significant impact on the success of the entire initiative. When selecting species, a number of factors should be taken into account, such as the climatic and soil conditions of the location, exposure to sun or shade, as well as resistance to pollution and changing urban conditions. Optimal plant selection allows you to create durable and beautiful compositions that please the eye of residents and visitors, while minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring long-lasting flowering. By selecting local and native plant species, the city can also support biodiversity and conservation, creating a sustainable urban space that is consistent with the character of a given location.

Care and maintenance of flowers for longer

Care and maintenance of floral decorations for longer are key elements contributing to the success of the Flower Towers in cities with a smaller area. Here are some key steps that will help your flowers last longer:

1. Regular watering: Adequate moisture is essential to keep your plants healthy and beautiful. Regular watering of flower decorations should be provided, especially during periods of drought and high temperatures. It is good to monitor the humidity of the substrate and adjust the frequency of watering to the current weather conditions, as well as the needs of the plants.
2. Selecting the right substrate: A well-chosen substrate is essential for healthy plant growth. In the case of hanging floral decorations, it is worth using a light and well-draining substrate that allows you to avoid excessive flooding of the roots. The addition of nutrients to the substrate, such as compost or fertilizers, will support the plants in their development.
3. Proper fertilization: A regular supply of nutrients is essential for healthy plant growth and long-lasting flowering. Use the right fertilizers, tailored to the plant species, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Avoid over-application of fertilizers, preventing excessive plant growth and stunted flowering.
4. Pruning and care: Proper pruning will control the shape of the plants, remove withered flowers and increase branching, which in turn can affect the abundance of flowering. Regular removal of withered plant parts also helps to maintain their aesthetic appearance.
5. Protection against pests and diseases: Monitoring plants and intervening early if pests appear are among the most important issues if you want your plants to look beautiful.

Zielona Góra, Poland

In recent months, the inhabitants of our beautiful city have had the opportunity to admire the remarkable transformation that has taken place right in the city centre. The promenade, which is often filled with tourists and residents, has gained a new beauty thanks to the charming flowering. Flowers and plants have enlivened the urban space of Zielona Góra, creating picturesque landscapes and encouraging people to spend time outdoors.

Summer burst of colour in the city centre

A flowered city centre is not only an aesthetic experience for passers-by, but also a great benefit for the environment. Plants help to improve air quality, absorb pollutants and emit oxygen, which benefits the health as well as the general well-being of residents. In addition, greenery has a calming effect on everyone, which is especially important for dynamic, modern cities.

Read our article and take a look at the latest photos of summer flowering in Zielona Góra! See how the city has changed in recent months.

Stylish pots and the Flower Towers: the summer version of Zielona Góra

Pots from the URBANA collection from Terra Group were placed in the most recognizable places in Zielona Góra. Their size allowed for quite large plantings, so that real trees appeared in the very center of the city. These types of pots can serve as tools for dividing urban space into different zones. They can define the edges of promenades, squares or recreational areas, setting clear boundaries. In this way, URBANA pots helped to organize space and maintain order, while ensuring the comfort and safety of all pedestrians.

Old Town in Zielona Góra, Poland

On the other hand, the Flower Towers placed on the promenade highlighted the identity of the city, which is famous for its greenery and surrounding nature. The Flower Towers have been beautifully flowered to delight passers-by and add many different colors to the urban landscape. Both the hanging and standing Flower Towers have been used to decorate Zielona Gora, so the image of the center has been greatly diversified. Zielona Góra is therefore an excellent example of how to wonderfully flower a city and introduce plants where this is usually not possible.

Plants as a key element of public space

Plants play an extremely important role in public spaces. Their presence in the city center brings many benefits and transforms the urban environment into a welcoming environment. Flowers or trees add natural beauty to the area, creating green oases in the concrete jungle. They are not only an aesthetically pleasing element of the space, but also they improve air quality, noise absorption and provide shelter from the heat for residents.
The inhabitants of Zielona Góra are fortunate that their city is one of the greenest cities in Poland. This aspect directly affects the quality of life here and, and at the same time, influences the city’s attractiveness for foreign tourists.

So, who of you is planning a trip to Zielona Góra? See you there!

Urban space, full of concrete, metal and glass skyscrapers, often lacks greenery and natural beauty. Increasingly, however, designers and artists around the world are introducing new solutions that not only enliven our cities, but also bring utilitarian works of art into them. One of such solutions are XXL pots — impressive and innovative architectural elements that are becoming an integral part of the urban landscape.

XXL pots: Art that inspires and creates community in the city

XXL flower pots are huge plant containers that not only have a practical function, but also an artistic one. Unlike traditional pots, which are small in size and focus mainly on the function of holding plants, XXL pots are becoming the centerpiece of urban spaces. Their enormous size, unique shapes and modern designs attract the attention of passers-by, giving a distinctive look to a particular place.

Moreover, XXL flower pots are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional. Thanks to their size, they can hold large trees and shrubs, thus creating natural green islands in the middle of a concrete jungle. Plants in pots not only decorate the city, but also contribute to improving air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. In addition, XXL pots can also become spatial markers or protective barriers, dividing the urban space into different zones.

Art on a large scale – XXL pots as an urban attraction

XXL pots create unlimited possibilities for artistic expression. Designers, using a variety of materials, create unique compositions that reflect both contemporary minimalism and expressive abstraction. Pots can be made of concrete, steel, wood, glass or plastic, and their surfaces can be decorated with paintings, mosaics, or sculptures. These artistic masterpieces enrich urban spaces and give them a new dynamic.

Painting XXL pots together can be a great idea to activate the local community. Creating such local works of art will be great entertainment for both young and old residents! A great background for such events are the white, smooth XXL Gianto pots from Terra Group, which have already been used in this way, e.g., by the City of Poznań.

A space full of color. How are XXL pots transforming cities?

Artists and designers all over the world see the potential of XXL pots and bring them into urban space with increasing enthusiasm.  Thanks to XXL pots, art is making its way into streets and squares, merging with the daily lives of citizens. XXL pots not only provide us with aesthetic impressions, but also inspire to reflect on the role of art in public spaces.

Why not organize a pot painting event in your town? Graffiti lovers as well as classic art enthusiasts are sure to be delighted! A pot painting action in your city can be an exciting event and a great opportunity to involve the local community in creating artistic and creative spaces. Here are some steps that can help you organize such an action:

• Contact the relevant city authorities or organizations responsible for the management of urban spaces, such as the city hall, the cultural department or the urban greenery board. Discuss your ideas and get permission to carry out pot painting campaigns in public areas.
• Submit a project to the civic budget vote.
• Identify strategic locations in the city, such as squares, parks or streets, where the placement of painted pots will attract the most attention. Choose areas that are highly visible and frequently visited by residents and tourists.
• Inform the local community about the planned pot painting event. You can use various communication channels, such as social media, websites, local newspapers or posters. Encourage residents, art groups, schools, NGOs and local businesses to take part.
• Ensure that you have the necessary tools and materials such as paints, brushes, palettes, rubbish bags, water for washing brushes, etc. Also provide adequate safety equipment such as protective suits and gloves for participants. Organize work zones and provide tables where pots can be painted.
• Ensure photo or video documentation of the pot painting action. Share them on social media, local media, websites, and blogs to promote the participants’ creativity and attract the attention of more people.
