the hornungsreuth horticultural association has had a rather quiet year. He again took care of the maintenance of public facilities, looked after the fruit meadow in hornungsreuth and the area around the village pond in neuenreuth.
the presentation of the association at the drossenfelder weihnacht was also a great success, said chairman hermann kramer at the annual meeting in the neuenreuther fire station.
he already pointed out two lectures in 2018: roland ramming will speak on 26. april in the old schoolhouse brucklein about gravel gardens and markus gastl on 16. may in the brauwerck about gardens for insects. Then there will be a botanical evening hike with deputy chairman ralf stocker in the summer, and a bee hotel will be built with the kids in the fall.
"The participation at the autumn market of the community gardening associations and again at the drossenfelder weihnacht is just as natural", added the chairman. He also found the activities of the "dorfgemeinschaft neuenreuth" worth mentioning, who have redesigned the village center with a seating area and a fountain house.
Treasurer verena dorfler gave a good account of the finances, and betina muller read out detailed minutes of the last annual meeting.
In the single house evaluation for the most beautiful property the family rebecca and jens schoberth from unterbrucklein was distinguished. Their ecologically designed house garden with apple trees and native woods forms a visually successful conclusion in the direction of oberbrucklein, according to the jury.
There were certificates for gertrud hofmann, who has been a member for 25 years, and for honorary chairman dieter friedmann, who has been in the association for 40 years.
Deputy mayor michaela schirmer emphasized the workload of the association, because it has to look after four villages: hornungsreuth, neuenreuth, brucklein and schwingen.
With a lecture about "early climbers" district technical advisor friedhelm haun rounded off the evening.
