The magic of colorful umbrellas in the city

In a city full of gray concrete buildings and monotonous streets, sometimes all it takes is one flickering glance upward to discover the fascinating world of colorful umbrellas. When rainy clouds flood the streets and the sun hides behind a curtain, these delicate covers become not only a practical protection against changeable weather conditions, but also a magical touch that brings the city to life. Colorful umbrellas, like a rainbow on a gray background, add charm and joy to the urban space, attracting the attention of passers-by.

Why is it worth changing your city with this new trend? Check out our article below and get inspired! 

Colorful umbrellas as must-have in the city

All bustling streets in the city have their own unique atmosphere, but sometimes they lack color and vitality. Fortunately, there is a simple and effective way to enliven urban space – just hang colorful umbrellas in such places. These charming rain covers, hanging in the open air over the streets, transform the gray urban landscape into real painting canvas.

Colorful umbrellas in various shades and patterns, dancing in the wind, attract the eyes of passers-by and brighten up the surroundings. They create a magical scenery that tempts you to stop, take a picture, and take your loved ones for a walk.

In addition, colourful umbrellas not only enliven an urban space, but also enhance its character. Depending on your choice of colours and designs, you can create themed decorations that reflect the local culture, the given holiday, or add character to a particular neighbourhood. For example, in an art area umbrellas covered with painting motifs can be hung, while a shopping district could be dominated by umbrellas in intense colours to attract the attention of passers-by.

Colorful umbrellas as street decorations not only give the cityscape a unique charm, but also create space where people can stop, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of the city. They are small but expressive details that make public spaces more welcoming, inspiring and creative. Thus, colorful umbrellas are not only practical protection from rain or sun, but also a wonderful decoration that adds magic and vitality to our streets.

Colorful umbrellas enliven gray urban space

The suspension of colorful umbrellas in the city can become a major attraction for tourists. The umbrellas will create a unique and picturesque atmosphere that will draw people`s attention and make the city more interesting for potential visitors.

Tourists often look for unique places that offer not only historical monuments or traditional attractions, but also special visual experiences. Colorful umbrellas will create a unique scenery and will certainly attract the attention of travelers, encouraging them to slowly explore the city. 

What’s more, a street decorated with colorful umbrellas can become a popular place to take photos. Thus, the city can get more publicity on social-media and become one of the most alluring places for various photo shoots!

XXL Easter eggs in Kozienice,  i.e. creative urban activities

Although Easter time has just passed, in some places we can still admire amazing Easter decorations. It turns out that more and more local communities are becoming very creative when it comes to decorating their urban spaces. This season, the Kozienice Municipality also took on such a challenge, and we have to admit that the result is simply stunning!



XXL fiberglass eggs as a canvas for local artists

As we mentioned in the previous article, residents have many possibilities when it comes to painting XXL Easter eggs. In some towns the eggs were decorated by kindergarten children, in others by local professional artists. It was no different in Kozienice — the local community joined forces and prepared the urban space for the coming Easter.

XXL Easter eggs in the Kozienice Municipality were made by younger and older residents, including local artists.

Decorating Easter eggs was a social act and art materials were donated by the Mayor of Kozienice — Piotr Kozłowski.

We love this creative approach to decorating urban space—it serves all residents, and such actions certainly support establishing closer relations among neighbors. Beautifully painted eggs in the Kozienice Municipality delight everyone, which is why we strongly encourage you to visit the town and maybe even… join the action next year?

Thank you very much for the photos and congratulations to all the artists!




How to plant Easter decorations? Starring openwork eggs and pansies!

Spring is just around the corner and together with March comes hope for more colors in cities, warmer temperatures and longer walks with the family.  Although there is still quite a winter aura, we are already looking for the first signs of the coming spring but also Easter, which can be a great opportunity to bring more beautiful flowers to any space. One of the most unique ideas may be planting of openwork Easter eggs — many Polish and foreign cities have already decided to do it. So, how to prepare such a natural decoration? Check out our guide and decorate your city step by step with Greenspired by Terra Group!



Easter decoration

Choose the perfect openwork egg

Openwork eggs are a great alternative to other classic Easter decorations. The openwork elements delight with its surface, which nicely emphasizes the urban space, and at the same time adds lightness to the landscape. Openwork eggs go in a variety of sizes and colors, although the most common are red, green, yellow, and white. After all, these are wonderful colors associated with Easter. Eggs can reach a height of 60 to 152 cm! Thanks to this, they can be used to create an amazing spatial arrangement, choosing eggs in different sizes and colors, and then placing them on a city roundabout or promenade. Below, you can see an example of such a project in Zielona Góra, Poland.

Openwork eggs

Line the bottom of the egg with agrotextile or garden foil

As openwork eggs have a rather specific construction, so it will be necessary to line their bottom with agrotextile or garden foil. Such material will protect the soil in the egg bowl and help to take care of the plants. Professional gardeners recommend, above all, agrotextile for such plantings, as it allows air and water to pass through. In turn, the main advantage of garden foil is its low price and ease of use. It is worth making a decision about the material after determining what flowers we are going to plant, as some of them have preferences that should be taken into account. One can also try to match the color of the agrotextile or foil to the egg — observing the projects from different cities, the most often chosen are bright colors of these materials.

Openwork Easter Decoration

Fill the bottom of the egg with suitable potting soil

For spring plantings, you will need universal horticultural soil. This is the best choice for classic projects, because flowers such as pansies, tulips, or narcissus do not need any special soil. If, on the other hand, you decide to plant some less common plants, make sure what kind of soil they require. Filling the egg with soil is very simple — once you have the padded bottom of the bowl, just fill it with soil, leaving some space from the edge of the container for the flowers.

Plant your favorite flowers in the egg

The last step is the most enjoyable part – choosing the flowers and planting them in the previously prepared egg! Depending on the color and size of the egg, you can select a variety of flowers. A great idea can be the flowers, which will contrast with the surface of the egg, e.g., planting blue pansies in a white or yellow egg. Narcissus or tulips can also be successfully used for such a composition. You are only limited by your fantasy! Don’t forget to share a picture of your projects with us; We’d love to share your work on our social media! Below, you can also see the instructions for planting flowers in eggs in the form of a short video!
