The university is flourishing!
Together with students, Rector Peter Riedler and Vice-Rector Markus Fallenböck, BioBienenApfel ambassador Franco Foda has sown meadow flowers directly on the university campus and created a flowering corner. Flower meadows not only provide a habitat for a variety of plant species. They support biodiversity by providing nectar and pollen for insects such as bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. This in turn promotes the pollination of plants and helps to maintain the ecological balance.
And flower meadows are a wonderful enrichment for the campus of the University of Graz as a green oasis in the centre of the city of Graz. More than 400 trees and hundreds of shrubs and several lawns and flowering areas grow on around 13 hectares on the entire campus of the University of Graz. This area is thus larger than the Augarten and the Volksgarten in Graz put together.
