The 53rd Barbórka Rally also at Galeria Bemowo.

Our team is not competing in this year’s edition of the Barbórka Rally, preparing intensively for the next season…however, both rallies and shopping centers are topics very close to our hearts, so it’s nice to hear that Galeria Bemowo has become a part of this iconic event. We encourage you to cheer. Below is information from the event organizers:

“A foretaste of the rally excitement ahead of the 53. Barbórka Rally fans will be able to feel it already on Friday, December 11. From 10:00 a.m. on the parking lot in front of Galeria Bemowo, vehicle inspections will be held. The rally cars will be available for viewing until 5:00 pm.

Traditionally, at the end of the rally season in Warsaw, on Saturday, December 12, will be held the 53rd. Barbórka Rally. As early as Friday, December 11, from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, in the parking lot at Galeria Bemowo, inspection tests will be held for the vehicles that will start on Saturday in the 53. Edition of the competition. For fans of motoring, this is an excellent opportunity to take a close look at the finest rally machines, as well as to meet drivers, pilots and crew members.

However, this is not the end of the attractions. Fans who decide to visit Galeria Bemowo will be able to move at 5:00 pm to the Autodrome area, a track specially arranged in Bemowo for test drives and car competitions. Admission to the test section scheduled there is free for those interested. The real competition, however, will not begin until Saturday, December 12, and then admission to all special sections will be ticketed.

Green walls. Artificial can be beautiful.

Green walls are making a furore, becoming almost as popular as green roofs. The fact is, however, that in order to grow beautifully, they need expert care. However, there is an alternative, ARTIFICIAL GREEN WALLS. Below is an example of a green wall made by CALLA. We offer many designs and colors, we are able to realize any of your ideas, well, maybe almost any…. We encourage you to cooperate, because ARTIFICIAL CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.

Another visit to the friendly Lorberg nursery, and BUGA exhibition

A few days ago we had the opportunity to visit the friendly German Lorberg nursery. In the pleasant company of SAK association members, we admired the new varieties of trees produced at Lorberg. There was also a moment for an evening sightseeing tour of Berlin and to taste some German beer.

On the last day we also went to the BUGA horticultural exhibition in Brandenburg. It is held every year in various locations in Germany. It showcases innovations in garden construction and landscaping. Details in the link below.
