ROLL GRASS PRODUCTION FACILITY
The Metropolitan Municipality produces the grass it needs at the Roll Grass Production Facility built on an area of 30 thousand square meters. The facility produces Zoysia and St. Augustine grasses that consume less water and are resistant to drought. It uses the grass produced at the facility in green areas. The Metropolitan Municipality also produced 27 million seasonal flowers, shrub-shaped plants and grass seedlings between 2019 and 2022 at its plant production facilities in Gürsu and Hurma.
ARID LANDSCAPING
The Drought Landscaping Project, initiated by the Metropolitan Municipality against the danger of drought caused by climate change, saves water and energy. Launched in the city center and later expanded to the districts, the environmentalist project uses colored tree bark and colored stones instead of grass for landscaping. The project saves 50 percent on water and electricity and up to 33 percent on pesticides and fertilizers.
