Green oases in Jena: citizens shape lively habitats!

Jena. from the Thuringian city of Jena there is gratifying news about the promotion of green rooms.

This year the "Prize for Green Oases in Jena" was awarded to Kathy Witte for their impressive design of a green area in Schrödingerstrasse. Mayor Christian Gerlitz (SPD) presented the main prize on Monday and emphasized how important the use of citizens is to improve the city climate and the creation of habitats for animals and plants. "Every year it is impressive how much creativity the Jena people put into their projects," said Gerlitz.

commitment to nature

Kathy Witte has created a small green oasis in her living area, which not only enjoys the residents, but also serves as a habitat for many insects and small animals. With the planting of flowers, perennials and shrubs, a valuable area was created in a compacted residential area that contributes to biodiversity. For her efforts, Witte received prize money of 700 euros and a voucher for Boock garden culture.

In addition, Patrick Peters was awarded for his initiative on Sophienstrasse. There he turned a previously sealed courtyard into a new green oasis. His commitment not only delights birds and butterflies, but also ensures that neighbors and friends find space to linger. Peters also received a prize money of 700 euros and the voucher from Boock Garden Culture.

More prices went to Katrin and Hendrik Fröderking for their designed front garden in Johann-Friedrich-Straße and Melanie Schneider, who implemented a nice greening on their carport roof. Both projects were awarded 300 euros.
