Our mutual Rotary project “High Swing” in the Skaryszewer Paderewski-Park, Warsaw
The German – Polish Gardens in Warsaw
The philosophy behind the German – Polish Gardens:
Combining
the garden cultures of Germany and Poland a symbol of the German-Polish
friendship is to developing and will become a constant element of the Warsaw
park landscape. The initiative follows directly on the jubilee year on the
occasion of the 25th anniversary of the signing of the German-Polish
Neighborhood Treaty.
The aim of the initiative is to provide people, groups and companies with a
quiet and friendly place to contemplate or spend their leisure time outdoor.
The gardens are designed to draw the attention of the visitors, especially the
younger ones, to the fauna and flora and to educate the view for the garden
cultures of Germany and Poland. Against the background of burdensome
environmental influences such as smog and noise in the urban centers, it takes
into account the need for green living spaces as part of the modern smart
cities.
The German-Polish Gardens in Warsaw will be only the third project of a
Friendship Garden across the world with the participation of Germany, and
hopefully very soon be considered in line with the two existing facilities of
this kind, the German-French Garden in Saarbrücken (1960) and the
German-American Friendship Garden in Washington DC (1983).
