Germany, Part 3: Münchberg – Modern Large Planters in a Green Style

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!

This time, we will explore interesting solutions applied in urban spaces designed with children in mind. How does Rödental transform urban squares and parks to make them more child-friendly? 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!




Germany: Part 1 – Gera and 8 Colorful Planters That Will Change Your Perspective on Urban Decorations

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!

6 Essential Tips for Landscape Architects and Urban Planners: How Urban Green Spaces Improve Air Quality and Well-being

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:




New Large Planters in Elbląg: 3 Fantastic Ways to Add Color to Public Spaces

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.

It’s not just a decoration but also a practical cover that allows for storing decorations without the need for disassembly or storage.

What to plant in a large pot? Discover the different variants of flower arrangements!

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.
