This is a novel form of urban greenery planting that focuses on trees. Smart Písek has adapted this concept from Sweden, where they've been working on it for several years.
The city's inner city trees are currently receiving a lot of attention, but this isn't the situation in Písek. As a result, the Smart Písek office, in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, will try a novel form of tree planting, dubbed Swedish Trees, in a trial project during the restoration of Hus Square.
The overall goal of the pilot project is to establish a tree-planting system that follows the diagram below, ideally with the addition of a rainwater collection system.
