What are the sustainability initiatives for reusing materials from the Winter Garden in Leuven?
The city wants to ensure that nothing from the Winter Garden is wasted after the celebrations. Alderman Christophe Stockman said that everything will be reused to support sustainability. The topsoil will be used for new plants in different parts of Leuven, and the wood chips from trimming city trees will be used for ground cover in other green projects.
All parts of the Winter Garden will be reused. Alderman Christophe Stockman said that the 90 meters of trunks and 6 benches made from tree trunks will find new purposes. The 135 Christmas trees will be turned into mulch, and 1,100 shrubs and 645 plants will be planted in parks and gardens after the event. The Winter Garden will be on the Grote Markt until Sunday, January 5.
