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.

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.

Your magical Easter city decoration begins here!

Decorating cities for spring is one of the most awaited moments by residents. It is then that the squares begin to cover themselves with colors, and the air smells of spring flowers. On the occasion of Easter, many cities decided to flower their space, which is why we decided to review the most interesting projects to inspire others to similar activities!

Wernigerode, Germany

The town authorities of Wernigerode opted for classic decorations in the form of openwork eggs. Their white surface wonderfully brightened the urban space on rainy April days. Spring flowers were planted in the white eggs, and thanks to the combination of different species, the town could enjoy a very natural flowering effect.

St. Veit, Austria

Austrian town of St. Veit added a lot of charm to the main pedestrian street with Easter decorations. Colorful openwork eggs perfectly matched the colors of the buildings. Flower arrangements, in turn, provided a breath of fresh air and attracted the attention of the residents. The example of St. Veit can be a great inspiration for other small towns — it turns out that with the help of well-thought-out, but small decorations, you can also beautify urban space.

Cieszyn, Poland

In Cieszyn, we were amazed by the creativity of the inhabitants. They decided to approach decorating the space in an original way — in addition to flowers in the square, they covered openwork eggs with colorful ribbons, referring to the tradition of painting Easter eggs. The ribbons perfectly matched the surface of the white openwork, and at the same time added many warm colors to the urban space. Congratulations on your ingenuity! Who knows, maybe other towns will get inspired by this project in the future…

Glogow, Poland

Glogovia Shopping Mall also decided to bring an Easter element into its building. In the central place, the administrators put a small pen with a fiberglass Easter bunny, next to which openwork eggs were installed. The natural flowering of the eggs helped warm up the image of the gallery and introduce a bit of real greenery. It’s also a marvelous idea for an insta spot for customers!

Smigiel, Poland

The town of Śmigiel has been surprising us with beautiful projects for years. This year, they focused on natural, minimalist openwork decorations combined with live flowers. Colorful pansies in the cascade brought a spring atmosphere to the urban space. We really like solutions that are simple and very effective at the same time.

Żory, Poland

In April Żory swarmed with Easter eggs! XXL Easter eggs appeared in various squares — both fiberglass and openwork ones. Thanks to this, the whole city was dressed in spring colors, and the inhabitants could admire the decorations throughout the entire period around Easter. Rows of fiberglass Easter eggs along the main streets caught the eyes of not only residents, but also visitors. A great idea to build positive associations with the municipality!

Prerov, Czech Republic

The Czech town of Přerov showed how to color the center of a concreted city. The easiest solution is to put a few colorful decorations in the center! Multicolored openwork eggs were planted with natural flowers, which also added a breath of spring freshness. We are glad that towns and cities are increasingly interested in bringing greenery even into places that are not parks or clearings!

Trzebiatow, Poland

The approach to decorating the town of Trzebiatów in the spring was very professional!  The authorities organized a joint action of painting XXL Easter eggs, and then arranged an outdoor exhibition of them. Rows of hand-painted eggs perfectly decorated the streets of Trzebiatów, and delighted the residents. The Flower Towers with spring plantings appeared next to the eggs, which beautifully warmed the city center. Congratulations on this beautiful, large project!

Casa Timis, Romania

Hand-covered eggs from Poland from Terra Group have even reached Romania this year! The luxurious resort Casa Timis decorated its space with them in a minimalist and very tasteful way. This is how they conveyed their wishes to their partners, customers, and guests. Bringing such personalized Easter decorations into the hotel space is a great idea to establish a closer relationship with guests!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Spring is coming, and thus, we are slowly preparing to plant our gardens, yards and urban spaces. If you have already purchased unique flower pots for this season, all you need to do now is choose the plants you will plant in them. Large pots are a great base for turning the space around you green, as you can plant various species of plants in them. These include flowers, perennials, shrubs, and even trees! If you are looking for an interesting idea to implement such a flower arrangement, check out our proven ideas below and get inspired by the wonderful colors!

Flowers for large pots

Amazing colors of blooming flowers can brighten up any space. Even if you live in a big city full of concrete, you can put a large pot on your terrace and enjoy greenery all year round. It is worth investing in such a solution, because plants positively affect not only our physical health, but also our mood. If you dream of a unique plant and shrub composition, choose an XXL pot. In such a container, you can plant marvelous species of flowers without worrying that they will not have enough soil or water!

Below you will find our favorite flowers that will work great in various seasons. We divided them into annuals, bulbs, and perennials.

 

Annual plants

Annual plants such as petunias, begonias, and hydrangeas must be planted at the right time of the year. Such flowers are distinguished by the fact that they bloom beautifully, decorating urban spaces. When deciding to plant annual plants in large pots, one must take into account that in the next season it will be necessary to repeat this procedure. Unfortunately, the flowers below do not last long — but that’s their nature! Although such plantings have to be repeated every year, the spectacular effect one gets is definitely worth it.

• Petunia
• Ipomea light/dark
• Tuberous begonia
• Lantana
• Dichondra
• Solanum
• Mandevilla
• Coleus plectrantus
• Hydrangea
• Chrysanthemum
• Heather

Bulb plants

Who doesn’t like the sight of tulips or crocuses heralding the coming spring? Bulbs are distinguished by their beautiful fragrance and colors, so it’s no wonder that they are one of the most popular flowers. In most cases, these are plants for one season, but sometimes, if we properly protect the bulbs, we can grow beautiful flowers from them the next year. Below you will find a list of our favorite bulbs used for planting in large pots:

• Tulip
• Hyacinth
• Narcissus
• Crocus
• Decorative garlic
• Muscari
• Scilla
• Kaiser’s crown
• Lilies
• Gladiolus
• Canna

Perennials

Perennials are plants that grow for many years. In colloquial terms, they are flowers of all seasons; in fact, the most common perennials are ornamental plants that are supposed to last more than one season. Among the perennials, one can find a lot of unique plants, perfect for flowering urban spaces or creating amazing compositions in large pots on the terrace. Some lovely perennials worth recommending are:

• Heuchera
• Verbena
• Coleus
• Aster
• Ground-ivy
• Surfinia
• Pelargonium
• Plantain lilies
• Garden canna

Trees for pots outside

There is a lot of space around you where there are no trees? Concrete courtyards and squares do not have to be gray at all—just fill them with colorful pots in XXL size. In such large pots, you can easily plant bigger trees that will give some little shade on summer afternoons and bring greenery to the city center. An interesting new trend is planting palm trees in XXL pots—such a tree can conjure up an exotic atmosphere even in a cool Polish town!

• Mountain pine
• Palmate maple
• Common hornbeam
• Black locust
• Paper birch
• Southern catalpa
• Thuja
• Yew
• Spruce
• Palm trees

Ornamental grasses in pots

 It turns out that planting flowers is not the only way to bring greenery to the city. Ornamental grasses are also great for this role. They look marvellous in XXL pots, both in a composition with other plants and alone. It is worth delving into the subject of ornamental grasses and looking for varieties that will be most compatible with our sense of aesthetics. The Amur silvergrass or Chinese pennisetum will look great in pots with neutral, earthy colors. Such natural shades will ensure a friendly atmosphere in every city. Below, you can find a list of our favorite ornamental grasses for planting in XXL pots:

• Lilyturf
• Japanese sedge
• Chinese pennisetum
• Chinese pennisetum
• Cogongrass

Compositions made of ornamental cabbage

Are you looking for an original idea to decorate flower pots? Decorative cabbage will work perfectly in this role, and you can compose them with ornamental grasses or flowers. However, if you want to prepare decorative plantings for autumn, the composition of ornamental cabbage will be a hit. You will find a variety of colors and cabbage types, which in combination will make an even greater impression than classic spring flowers. In addition, cabbage does not require demanding care, making it ideal for urban spaces or on the terraces of restaurants and hotels.

Compositions of plants in large pots

Are you wondering what plant compositions are best suited to large pots? It’s obvious that sometimes it’s better to see something with your own eyes, instead of using only your own imagination! That is why we have prepared for you proven combinations of plants that were used in various Terra Group projects. With each photo of the composition you will find information about the conditions needed for the plant, flowering time and specialized Latin names of specific varieties.

It’s already summer, so the season of flowering cities has begun for good. Town Halls, offices – all kinds of public buildings are visited by hundreds of clients. Usually, these visits are not much awaited – how to change it then? A professional service does matter here, however, that’s not all…

It is so much nicer to enter a well-maintained building, which thanks to its surroundings, gives more positive impression. First few moments are crucial, regardless of the business branch! Aesthetic surroundings are the key to success and a chance to build a proper image.

In case of public buildings, the best solution are flowers. Flower towers are an excellent idea. It is a proven way to bring into the area plenty of various colors at the same time, alleviating shapes of the public buildings, which are often quite homogeneous and austere.
