Members of the Hallbergmoos Horticultural Association have planted five trees in the cemetery.

The next project is coming up soon.

Hallbergmoos

- The fog had still bathed Hallbergmoos in a dull gray when the volunteers of the gardening association got to work.

They went out early in the morning to plant trees in the new tree burial area of ​​the Hallbergmoos cemetery.

The twelve volunteers planted four sweetgum trees and a common oak in two and a half hours.

The oak tree is a gift from the association, given on the occasion of the 40th birthday.

club anniversary three years ago.

The variety was chosen because it goes so well with the town crest.

The sweetgum trees, as explained by honorary chairman Günther Frombeck, are particularly suitable for tree burial areas.

And, as chairwoman Sabine Brügel adds, they are also beautiful to look at because of the seasonally changing color of the leaves.

A round bench is to be erected in the near future

The local young farmers donated a sweetgum tree, a second one by the couple Claudia and Josef Lang.

A round bench will soon be installed on the oak tree in the center of the area.

There, relatives can commemorate their deceased.

Stone steles are set up in the immediate vicinity, where plaques with names commemorate the dead.

(By the way: everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

The urns themselves are embedded in the root area of ​​the trees in the green area without any reference to the deceased person's name.

The Hallbergmoos Horticultural Association carried out the work in close cooperation with the municipality.

A worker from the building yard helped them with this.
