Step by step to climate -friendly: Action Sunday on May 4th!

Eggenburg, Österreich - In 2025, the Lower Austria environmental movement "Nature in the Garden" has the main topic "Step by step climate!" selected to promote awareness of sustainable gardening. On May 4, 2025, there will be a campaign Sunday that invites municipalities to carry out distribution campaigns with the Samensackerl "water -saving herb grass". The goal is the implementation of the "10 steps for a climate side garden or green space" and the creation of a positive ecosystem.

The governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner emphasizes the importance of sustainable and climate-friendly design of gardens and green spaces. The Samensackerl can be ordered via the "nature in the garden" phone. The water -saving herb turf is characterized by care, lower water requirements and the creation of habitats for insects and as a source of food for hedgehogs.

10 steps to a climate fine garden

The "10 steps" that are to be met, include planting and maintaining trees, creating shade and hedges, using rainwater, greening and paths and sowing herbal turf. Particularly committed communities will be recognized on September 28th at the “Nature in the Garden” tree plant Festival.

The campaign Sunday begins at 9:30 a.m. with an ORF Radio Lower Austria Frühschoppen on the chancellor meadow in Eggenburg. In addition to the presentation of the 10-step program, there will be the opportunity to ask questions about climate-like gardening. Musical entertainment is offered by the privileged uniformed uniformed citizens of Eggenburg and the Ensemble Gerstnmoizmusi.
