Lower Austria's most beautiful flower splendor: award winner of 2024!

On March 18, 2025, the ceremonial awarding of the "Blossoms Lower Austria" initiative took place in the Lower Austrian Chamber of Agriculture in St. Pölten. After a delay due to the flood disaster last autumn, the most beautiful flower communities in 2024 could be awarded. Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner honored Kleinwilfersdorf, St. Georgen an der Leys, Frankenfels and Mödling for her outstanding contributions to the beautification of the country. This initiative, which has existed since 1969, promotes not only the floral design, but also together in the communities. In her speech, Mikl-Leitner emphasized: "An essential contribution in terms of the attractive design of our communities comes from the initiative 'Flowering Lower Austria'."

award winners and honors

The event not only honored the main prize winners, but also awarded special prices, such as the one for "biodiversity". The committed citizens, as well as the approximately 1,600 florists who look after the magnificent gardens and parks, were also recognized. Chamber of Agriculture President Johannes Schmuckenschlager emphasized how visible the success of this campaign is for all community citizens: "Especially in spring, people are happy about the first flowers to bring more color into life." The award winners are in detail: Kleinwilfersdorf, Guntrams, St. Georgen an der Leys, Frankenfels and Mödling, while honorary prizes were awarded to numerous other communities.

In addition to this initiative, health -promoting projects play a central role in the community. The “Healthy Neighborhood!” Projects form the heart of a movement to increase social cohesion in Austria. Activities are promoted that not only serve health, but also strengthen social participation and living neighborhoods. In the fourth phase of these projects, the creation of living, healthy habitats continues to work, as the data of healthy-notes.
