The troupe was all the more surprised to see a great variety of different meadow plants despite the unfavorable management. Longer mowing intervals and removal of cuttings could lead to a conversion to a low-maintenance herb lawn. This is more drought-resistant, increases the biodiversity of flora and fauna and reduces the maintenance effort. In contrast to the flower meadows usually created to promote biodiversity, a herb lawn is also friendly to residents, as the herbs do not grow so tall and spread their seeds.    <\/p>\n<p><strong>Butterfly meadow near the dog zone?<br \/>\n<\/strong>  The meadow next to the dog zone currently requires a lot of maintenance due to the swampy conditions. As a solution, Petra Hirner had the idea of converting the meadow into a butterfly meadow with moisture-tolerant plants. An arrangement of the existing benches along the path between the meadow would then offer the public the opportunity to observe the many new species and a place to slow down and linger.  <\/p>\n<p>The inspection revealed new ways of making the green spaces more natural and easier to maintain. The concept was subsequently presented to the municipal management for evaluation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1739530180239-e573ed16-5803-4&#8243; include=&#8221;6619,6622,6625,6628,6631,6634&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On February 12, 2025, Petra Hirner (Natur im Garten), Denise Kirner and Christopher B\u00f6ck (Bauhof&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":6619,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10230","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-kem-carnuntum-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10230","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10230"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10230\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10238,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10230\/revisions\/10238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10230"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10230"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.energiepark.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10230"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
