Dozens of decorative bows will appear in Kyiv next year

/ Ukraine /

The Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the KMDA instructed the management of the "Kyivzelenbud" cooperative to prepare a site for the creation of an experimental decorative meadow in each of the districts of the capital.

In this way, KMDA supported the public initiative and idea of ​​Ukrainian landscape designer Hanna Galagan regarding the introduction of sustainable modern technology into urban landscaping.

"8 experimental plots from each district are 64 decorative meadows for Kyiv! This is a large volume of work, considering that each of the sites will have to be prepared before sowing. With the help of my overseas colleagues, I plan to put together several seed mix options to determine what is most suitable for local conditions. The task is not easy, but it is a very positive fact that KMDA is open to innovative solutions, which are now being successfully implemented in the most progressive cities of the EU," Hanna Galagan told PRAGMATIKA.MEDIA.

The implementation of European greening practices on the scale of Kyiv has, in particular, economic reasons. Oleksandr Vozniy, head of the Department of Ecology and Natural Resources of the KMDA, said that the priority is the creation of sustainable and low-maintenance landscapes: "We will use perennial plants more actively. In some areas, where maintaining lawns is not advisable, we will plant decorative meadows and grasses, which require much less resources for maintenance. This will primarily apply to distribution lanes and areas along highways"

As I wrote earlier PRAGMATIKA.MEDIA for the arrangement of decorative bows, you can add construction waste to the soil, which will help dispose of debris resulting from missile attacks. This approach is appropriate for the most affected settlements of Ukraine, as it allows solving a number of problems at once - disposal and creation of sustainable modern landscaping.
