It should become colorful in the "Green Ypsilon Ginnheim/Dornbusch": so that in the coming spring even more flowers bloom than this year, the green space office Frankfurt invites to the flowering meadow action. "Bulbs for the flowering meadow" is the name of the action, in which all citizens can actively shape the green space in front of the Zarakali Circus in Ginnheim's Platenstrasse on Thursday, October 12, from 3 to 6 p.m.
The flowering meadow action is organized in cooperation between the Parks Department, the Development Area Management and the Neighborhood Management. Together, 6000 colorful flower bulbs will be planted to make Platenstraße more colorful and to promote biodiversity in the "Green Ypsilon". The bulbs will become tulips, daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops next spring. Experts from the green space office as well as from the development area management will be on site to show how it's done. The flowering meadow should not only look beautiful, but be insect-friendly, biodiverse and a breeding and feeding ground for small animals and insects. "All interested parties are cordially invited to actively participate and plant," says Michael Lennartz, landscape architect at the Parks Department, adding, "Just drop by and join in!"
The event is an opportunity to get together with neighbors and promote environmental beautification in Ginnheim. In addition to the hands-on activity, interested parties can learn about the "Green Ypsilon" and the urban development program "Growth and Sustainable Renewal". The program provides financial support and resources for projects aimed at improving the quality of life in the "Green Ypsilon."
At the same time, the "StadtNaturFest" will take place at the neighboring Morgenstern Children's and Family Center. Young and old can discover the autumn together and StadtNatur experts invite to walks and explorations through the urban area.
"We are looking forward to the action," says Anna Pohling from the development area management, "and hope that with many citizens we can transform the flowering meadow on the learning, play and culture mile in a blooming and living green space."
