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.

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.

Poznan Design Days

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.

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!

Public space is becoming an increasingly popular topic, so it is no wonder that we care about ergonomic solutions, greater comfort for residents and lush greenery in cities. Thanks to the growing social awareness, more and more design offices aim to improve urban space. It is for such initiatives that Polska Gazeta Wyborcza (one of the most popular polish magazines) organized the competition called Humanly Designed, which aims to select unique ideas. Last week, the final gala was held, and we could meet the winners of this year’s edition.

A more sustainable city

Various organizations applied for the competition: associations, designers, foundations, cooperatives, design teams, architects and entrepreneurs. There was even a special category for teenagers under 18 to reward them for their involvement in social initiatives for cities in Poland. All these groups are united by the desire to make cities more pleasant and accessible space for citizens. Sometimes it means launching multi-functional solutions, and other times it means the solutions that are smarter, greener or safer.

The guiding idea of the competition is, above all, to emphasize human needs. Urban space is supposed to serve residents and make them feel comfortable. Cities should be functional, but also pleasant, to encourage people to spend time outdoors!

As the main values of the jury turned out to be very consistent with the vision of Terra Group, we decided to submit Gianto city pots to participate in the competition.

Gianto flower pot—humanly designed multi-functionality

The idea that guided us when submitting Gianto pots to the competition was to emphasize that one pot can provide many creative possibilities. After all, Gianto is a simple, yet unique planter that perfectly adapts to the needs of urban space and changes the environment for the better. Its main task is to launch greenery where it might seem impossible due to lack of access to the ground, underground installations, specific conditions — narrow streets, garage underneath, constructions with load limitations. We designed the Gianto planter so that it would meet even the most difficult conditions posed by urban space, and at the same time it would delight passers-by.

The shape of the Gianto pot is inspired by a classic pot. As a result of playing with the form, new variants were created, which bring additional functionalities. The flattened SITO can be used as a bench, TABLO and GRANDE are the largest models and such a scale is hard to find anywhere else — you can plant trees in them without worrying about space for their roots.

The most important advantages of the Gianto pot are:

• XXL form, because large spaces need properly selected elements of street furniture,
• the possibility of planting beautiful, lush flowers or even trees,
• high-quality material that allows you to choose a variety of colors,
• production in Poland.

A pot that became a bench

A beautifully planted pot encourages you to stay near it as long as possible. This is how the idea for compatible seats with the Gianto pot came about.  They give you a chance to rest surrounded by greenery and in a few moments, the pot changes into a designer city bench.

Wave Bench

The wave-inspired bench is a seat that winds around the Gianto planters. This modular solution easily adapts to the needs and space, and at the same time looks extraordinary. What if you could combine two, three, five, seven pots with a seat? This is not a problem for the Wave bench, because it consists of several basic elements that fit together like building blocks. As a result, a very functional piece of street furniture is created each time. The original shape of the bench makes it possible for different groups of people to sit on it at the same time, and each of them will have space for themselves.

Zebra Bench

A round bench with a Gianto pot in the center gives you great opportunities to personalize the design. Each seat rung may look different, but the effect is phenomenal every time.

Can a city pot connect people?

We wanted our pots not to be just containers planted with plants. That is why we are extremely pleased that Gianto pots often become part of social initiatives: joint planting of plants, a canvas for local artists or a distinctive element of events. Thanks to this, they help to build awareness of the need for everyday contact with nature, respect and care for the common good, and also show that the cooperation of residents leads to beautiful effects.

One function is definitely not enough!

 

The Gianto pot is a decoration, a chance for additional greenery, a promotion for the city, a suitable container for trees, a bench, a railing, an element that separates space, a Christmas decoration, part of a social initiative, a canvas for local artists. We are very happy that we could take part in such an important competition for urban space. We hope you like our idea too!
