weekly

What is/was the motivation for the project?

We had to reduce the heat and dryness behind our glass-walls near our balconies. The microclimate had to change. We wanted to se plants during the brakes instead of naked grey balconies.

How is/was the project financed?

We contacted FFG.

What are the (planned) results?

Wisteria and Fallopia give us shade, so we can decrease the heat islands on the balconies. Students love gardening, watering and studying on the balconies.

How comprehensively were the ideas, desires, and demands of the students integrated into the initiative?

Students always want „colourful beautiful flowers and something to eat“. We tried to plant some species that fulfill that.
