flower meadows are becoming increasingly important, especially in urban areas where many areas are sealed. They are more than just pretty flower meadows. In Graz, an increase in biodiversity has been shown to be observed since the city began to plant flower meadows. These meadows offer valuable space for domestic plant species and are retreats for insects, birds and small mammals. These efforts not only contribute to the ecological balance, but also promote nature conservation in the population, emphasizes the city of Graz in an article on its website [Graz.at] (https://www.graz.at/cms/bagrag/10446921/8106444/ver_fuehwiesen_Bluehwiesen_Be.Geb.

The meaning of flower meadows

The advantages of flower meadows should not be underestimated today. They play a crucial role in nature conservation and offer valuable habitats in urban regions. In many cities, including Graz, this is visible through regular events such as those on June 12th. The "(disposal) tours of the Graz nature" take place regularly every second Wednesday of the month to November and should clarify the city dwellers about endangered animal and plant species.

The city of Graz is going on with a good example. According to a report by Gruene-stadt-kitzingen.de, one even plans to create further flower meadows in the coming years in order to further improve the cityscape and biodiversity. The flower meadows should optimally only be mowed once a year, which not only saves costs, but also significantly reduces the care efforts for the city gardeners. They also promote the settlement of animal residents in urban areas - an important step to preserve biodiversity.
