Mainz goes in for mass planting in a big way.
The city has its own gardening department, with glasshouses and the whole shebang.
Over winter, you’ll mostly see hardy heathers gracing the beds, but come spring, they’re all assigned to the Great Compost Heap in the Sky and out come the pansies, creatively planted in patterns or colour graduations.
Until its their turn for the GCHITS….
