7.2 “Wir spriessen gemeinsam” (We Sprout Together)

This project brought residents of the Triesterviertel – a part of the programme area – together to build and plant tree pits and, through this joint activity, to get to know one another.

Lots of perseverance and good-neighbourly commitment motivated a group of residents to launch a project to green their housing environment together. In this way, the neighbours learned which plants are best suited for urban settings and what added value for the area and for animals / insects this generates.

GB* supported the organisation of “tree island sponsorships”; these continue to be tended by local residents.
