Wiener Neustadt celebrates a year of success in the innovative future garden!

in the academy park next to the apricot meadow in Wiener Neustadt has done a lot in just one year. A year ago, a future -oriented garden was created here in cooperation with the HAK/HAS Wiener Neustadt. This Future Garden consists of a desert bed and a Central Europe that are planted with different areas from different regions.

The students have demonstrated a good hand and successfully set a variety of plants such as cacti, yucca, medicinal plants and even a small olive tree. The first balance sheet shows gratifying results: the plants thrive splendidly and the cacti are shortly before flower. The aim of the project is to think about alternative garden design across classes and classes. The initiative, which started in autumn 2022, clearly shows how lively oases can also be created with the right plants in barren substrates such as gravel.

sustainability in focus

But the future garden not only stands for diversity, but is also an appeal to society to think about the design of our gardens. Climate change ensures longer times with drought, which makes the choice of plants all the more important. According to the nabu , the use of local plants is advantageous. They are not only hardy, but also promote biodiversity and offer animals food and shelter.

Plants such as acetic rose, Vistula cherry and snake head that have adapted to dry locations are particularly important. In recent years, people have been increasingly looking for paths to compensate for intensive agriculture and urbanization. Future gardens can offer an answer to species death and climate change: they promote biodiversity and are especially for insects.

a project with perspective

For the HAK/HAS Wiener Neustadt, which has been a Pilgrim School since 2008, re-certification in the Schottenstift was another step in the right direction. The commitment of the pupils who take responsibility for planning, cost accounting and the appointment of the plants is praised by City Councilor LAbg. Franz Dinhobl.

The future garden should also create incentives: in the coming school year, the pupils are planning the pods and the sale of young plants. In addition to the already successful plants in Central Europe, fruit trees such as kaki, pomegranate and cowardly -compatible fruit trees are planned. This takes another step towards sustainable and resource -saving garden practice.

The future garden is not just a nice sight; He is also a step into a sustainable future. It shows that everyone, whether large or small, can create a retreat with a little effort. The initiative could also inspire other schools and communities to launch similar projects.
