Wir mähen Tübingen bunt! Colourful meadow!
For more biodiversity in urban green spaces
Located in the foyer of the greenhouses from March 11, 2018 to February 10, 2019
The diversity of nature in our immediate environment is decreasing rapidly. The exhibition "Mowing Tübingen colorful!" shows that it is often fairly easy to counteract this effect, even in very small spaces.
The "Bunte Wiese" is an initiative of students and staff of the University of Tübingen who promote biodiversity in public green spaces. Since 2010, the initiative, together with the city of Tübingen and the ministry Department responsible for Public Property and Construction, is working to make public areas in the city more colorful and diverse through a modified mowing regime. Accompanied by scientific studies, a lot of public relations work and activities, the colorful meadows in Tübingen are becoming more and more frequent.
How does a lawn become a colorful meadow? Are colorful meadows really creating a richness of species? Can you translate this idea to your own garden?
These and other questions will be answered at the exhibition. Beautiful photos show plant and animal life in colorful meadows. At the end you can do a quiz to test your knowledge.
