What’s blooming there? – Mapping our campus’s flowering areas

In May and June, the Climate Protection Management team took a closer look at the flowering areas on our campus and mapped out which herbs, flowers and grasses grow there.

A total of 30 different grasses, wildflowers, cereals and medicinal plants can be found in the flowering meadow between the ZMS and the Laser Institute. These include many familiar meadow plants such as chicory, yarrow, ribwort plantain and field thistles, as well as many beautifully flowering clovers, knapweeds, daisies, viper’s bugloss and speedwell. On the green space next to the flowering meadow, at least two-thirds of the plants have, over time, self-seeded and spread – fortunately! This means there is even greater biodiversity across our grounds.

On the flowering area next to the canteen, we have already identified 19 different species and have also found many classics here, such as flowering clover species, dandelions and daisies, as well as speedwells like the beautiful gamander speedwell, pig’s-ear and the round-leaved bellflower. What a splendour!

We hope you, too, are enjoying the splendour of the flowers and, above all, the contented buzzing of the many meadow dwellers.
