Zürich the Gartencity

This summer, the town of Zürich will be more lush than usual with more than 300 enormous decorated pots placed throughout the city. The pots will display over 30 different types of plant species. Visitors can admire the designs on the huge pots and learn about the different types of plants from placards as they stroll along the mapped route. City leaders have said that this display goes along with the general intellectual, moral, and cultural climate of the city; specifically appealing to people’s love of the environment. Chicago had cows*, San Francisco had hearts, Berlin had the Buddy Bears* and now Zürich has some huge decorated pots to attract visitors and locals to the streets downtown.
