Installation of wooden fences along an urban boulevard in Frontignan to enhance green spaces.

Since early September, the town of Frontignan has been working to beautify and secure vegetation islands along the urban boulevard, between the route de Montpellier and the Barnier roundabout.

Four municipal agents are involved in installing wooden fences spanning one kilometer. These low, natural material fences aim to delineate green spaces, thereby promoting plant spread and urban biodiversity. This initiative seeks to limit trampling and canine waste, contributing to a more pleasant and respected living environment.
This fence installation is accompanied by the planting of 450 shrubs of Mediterranean origin. Selections include honey-producing plants such as Hot lips sage, purple and pink sage, and yellow-flowered euryops, to enhance nature's presence and attract pollinators.
A drip irrigation system is planned at the base of each shrub, aiming to ensure sufficient rooting over a three-year period. Pruning of these new plantations will occur annually in February.
This action is part of the town's policy to create and preserve urban nature pockets, now extended to all neighborhoods through the "permis de végétaliser" (permission to vegetate) initiative.
