In a bid to usher in the vibrant spirit of spring and prepare for the forthcoming summer months, the Jerusalem Municipality has embarked on an ambitious initiative to revamp the city’s green spaces.
With a focus on enhancing recreational areas for residents and visitors alike, the municipality is undertaking extensive renovation work across playgrounds, gardens, and parks throughout the city.
According to a statement released on Wednesday, the municipality’s plans include the renovation of hundreds of playgrounds, gardens, and parks, with the aim of creating inviting spaces adorned with colorful blooms and lush greenery.
The initiative seeks to cultivate an atmosphere of beauty and tranquility in the heart of Jerusalem, offering both locals and tourists a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life.
One of the key highlights of the municipality’s endeavor is the planting of approximately 700,000 new plants, including a variety of flowers such as marigolds, zinnias, petunias, and impatiens, among others.
This concerted effort to introduce a plethora of vibrant flora is expected to transform the landscape of the city, adorning meadows, public gardens, parks, and traffic squares with a riot of colors.
The planting initiative, which commenced in mid-March, is slated to continue until May, with particular emphasis on the city center area, where over 100,000 saplings of various species will be planted.
The goal is to create captivating visual spectacles that encapsulate the essence of spring, enriching the aesthetic appeal of Jerusalem’s public spaces.
Moreover, recognizing the importance of providing adequate shade for park-goers, the City Improvement Division has undertaken the task of installing shading sails in playgrounds, gardens, and fitness facilities across public areas and parks.
This initiative aims to enhance the well-being of families, children, and visitors, enabling them to enjoy the outdoors even on scorching summer days while seeking refuge under the shade.
Mayor Moshe Lion expressed his enthusiasm for the city’s transformation, stating, “Happy Passover, Jerusalem! In preparation for the holiday, the capital city will bloom with thousands of colorful flowers, symbolizing the arrival of spring and the renewal of the city.”
He further emphasized the municipality’s commitment to ensuring the comfort and enjoyment of the public, urging residents and visitors to partake in the beauty of Jerusalem’s rejuvenated green spaces.
However, alongside the excitement surrounding the revitalization efforts, the municipality has issued a word of caution to parents, urging them to supervise their children and prevent them from climbing on the shading poles, thereby risking potential accidents.
As Jerusalem undergoes this springtime metamorphosis, it reaffirms its status as an eternal capital renowned for its unparalleled beauty and charm. With an abundance of colorful blooms and shaded retreats, the city invites all to bask in its splendor and revel in the joys of the season.
In the words of Mayor Lion, “Come, enjoy, rest, and rejuvenate in our eternal capital that has no like it in the world. Happy, peaceful, and enjoyable Passover to the residents of Jerusalem and to all of Israel.”
