Why do customers keep coming back to us? That is, how to understand, like and retain a customer?

Generation X or Y? or maybe Z? What and where do boomers buy? Your customer is changing, expecting better, more differently. He has high expectations and has a number of options for the purchase channel. How do you recognize your customers? What to offer them – how to treat them?

Nowadays it is not enough to be in the market and offer products. The customer coming to the store expects action on all the senses, expects sensations, support in his shopping adventure.

So how do we build a reputation that has the power to attract, how do we encourage a customer to become our regular partner?

Keeping in mind that the customer is human, we must offer him everything he expects in order to make his wandering amidst the shopping experience induce him to return.

How do you do that in a challenging market and a market where there are several different generations of shoppers?

Landscape architect, illustrator, nature educator, co-founder and president of the Children in Nature Foundation.
Creator of plant art installations and gardens: at the Ingarden Festival of Gardens and Art in Lublin (title of installation: “Succession and Returns” – 2022), Anthropocene in Warsaw and Wroclaw (“Renatura” 2022-2023) and Retroversje in Elblag (“El Microreserve” in cooperation with Krystyna Jędrzejewska-Szmek, 2023).
Author of the book “Fourth Nature: succession of functions and nature of urban wastelands” (2020). Co-author of walks through the wildlife of Krakow and Warsaw. Co-author of the script and illustrations for the educational path about the fourth nature on the Warsaw Uprising Mound. He initiated the creation of Frog Pits in Zielonki on a marshy wasteland, involving the local community in the process of natural metamorphosis of the place. It animates pro-nature activities with local communities and works effectively with non-obvious partners (e.g., developers and architects) in projects to protect urban biodiversity. He leads walks in the fourth nature of Polish cities.
He promotes planting and designs Urban Microforests (MMs) in Poland using Akira Miyawaki’s method. Co-designer of greenery at the award-winning Nowy Strzeszyn estate in Poznań. He has authored numerous articles, interviews and podcasts on the subject.

Turning to nature (rewilding) in cities on the example of Urban Microlas projects (MMs)

Turning to nature (rewilding) in cities on the example of Urban Microlas projects (MMs)

In the presentation, I show the social, ecological, economic benefits of introducing forest microhabitats into Polish cities. With help comes Akira Miyawaki’s Japanese method of planting forests. I point out its potential in reclaiming “third nature” areas for nature, i.e. intensively landscaped greenery or in greening “urban deserts.” Inculcating “wildness” at the micro-scale can bring many benefits, provided that local residents are included and opportunities for cross-sector cooperation are created. Miyawaki’s method finds a wide range of applications and the creation of self-regulating, dense microlashes can become a recognizable part of the landscape of many cities or settlements. For many residents, as sociologist Joanna Erbel points out, planting such biodiverse microgreens can be a new ritual that builds a bond with the place where they live, the public space, the natural surroundings and with each other. It can allow to regain hope that all is not yet lost and proficiency in positive, non-conflictual actions for local nature (nearby nature). Planting “tyci las” should not limit us – it is just a prelude to thinking about restoration projects on a larger scale, i.e. systemic natural regeneration of Polish cities from which there is no turning back.

Urban ecosystems of river valleys

Urban ecosystems of river valleys

Rivers are an integral part of the landscape of many cities, create their unique character, and are often their showcase. The role played by rivers in the city goes far beyond their image functions. The valleys of rivers and other flowing water features (such as canals, streams and smaller watercourses) are an important part of the city’s blue-green infrastructure. The healthy ecosystems of urban river valleys provide numerous services that make urban living healthier, develop biodiversity, and reduce flood risk. Over the years, the waterfronts of large urban rivers have been developed and regulated, and smaller rivers have been reduced to underground channels, so we have lost their potential. Today, trends in shaping river valleys are reversing, but Polish cities still lack the means, will and knowledge of how to restore their natural character and how to balance the needs of economic development and the expectations of residents with the preservation of natural assets. Therefore, it is extremely important to disseminate good practices in this

Karol Podyma

Karol Podyma

Owner of Flower Meadows and Beewild.
Founder “Flower Foundation”
Board member of the SAK Landscape Architecture Association
Owner of the Flower Meadows brand. Raised in a family of biologists, trained as a botanist, a horticulturist by experience, with a community-minded nature. Since 2014, I have been promoting the idea of creating flower meadows and protecting the biodiversity of Polish cities and villages.
Within a few years, the “floral revolution” became a reality, and beautiful and useful meadows began to be the hallmark of modern cities. The next step is to focus attention on rural areas, where existing grasslands and other valuable elements of agrocenoses need protection, i.e. Balks, mid-field trees or small bodies of water. Very important, in addition to protecting the biodiversity of agricultural production sites, is at the same time the appropriate development of investment areas, which, due to their size, are crucial to the protection of Polish nature. Therefore, together with scientists and organizations, it creates ideas to support biodiversity, i.e. Flower strips for agriculture, flower meadow mixtures for industrial areas and photovoltaic farms or biocenotic gardens using NBS (Nature Based Solutions) inspired solutions
In addition, he draws inspiration from the ideas of permaculture gardening and regenerative agriculture, various solutions of which he uses at the “Flower Farm” on the banks of the Rawka River, where he is creating a model biodiverse regenerative farm.

Flower meadows as a universal Nature-Based Solution. New methods of creating and maintaining flower meadows in cities.

Flower meadows have become an integral part of greenery in cities in recent years. Their versatile use and many advantages make them increasingly used as an alternative to lawns. Properly designed and executed urban meadows are one of the cheapest Nature-Based Solutions available to landscape architects and urban gardeners. For many years, the urban space has featured mostly ornamental “flower meadows,” which have become a very important element in educating the public toward less orderly and extensively tended urban greenery. Now it is time to enter the next level, where knowledge and respect for nature will be the determinant of creating urban meadows. Sowing seeds on degraded land, reseeding existing urban grasslands, reducing mowing or perhaps a no-dig or plug-in meadow. What method to use at a given site so that it is economically justified and most supports biodiversity and responds to the challenges of climate change adaptation. You will learn during the lecture

Miroslaw Sztuka BA(Hons), Dip(Hons)LA – Educated in the UK, Landscape Architect with 30 years of professional experience. He has worked on a wide range of landscape architecture projects, from exclusive private gardens, projects for the revaluation of historic palace-garden layouts (Royal Castle in Warsaw), projects and functional and spatial assumptions for hotels and sports and recreation centers (Hyatt, Shangria), all the way to large-scale environmental and landscape planning assumptions (Framework project of ecological and landscape strategy for the Tanggu District area in the Tianjin City agglomeration – China, Green infrastructure and land use plan for the southern part of the City of Harbin, China, Landscape and spatial framework strategy for the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia) and urban planning projects of New Cities in Asia. He is an experienced leader and manager who has successfully managed projects in many countries (Poland, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Dubai, Egypt, Hong Kong, China, Russia, etc.).
After gaining professional experience in the UK, he was a founder and long-time partner in the landscape architecture office RS Architektura Krajobrazu in Warsaw (Agora Headquarters, Land Development Project around Okęcie Airport, Warta Office Building, Land Development Project for Galeria Mokotów, Public Land Development Project for Konstancja Estate in Konstancin). Subsequently, he worked, as Project Director for the landscape architecture for China at EDAW/AECOM in Hong Kong and Beijing, and later, as Director for Central Europe in Warsaw, where he worked on large-scale planning and design -(Ocean Park Entertainment Park in Hong Kong, Cotai Strip/Sands Casino in Macau, Dubailand Amusement Park in Dubai, Urban Space Design for the new Binhai District financial district in Tianjin).
For twelve years he has been running his own landscape architecture studio “S&P Architektura Krajobrazu Sp. z o. o.” with an office in Warsaw. The studio has so far carried out projects in Poland, Russia, Germany, the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Dubai, Georgia, Ukraine and China. At the same time, the studio is engaged in consulting and advising on the effective implementation of sustainable land use projects with a particular focus on water management and minimizing the impact of climate change on urban areas for investors and developers. The studio is an official partner of the Green Pass system in Poland and the Middle East.
For twelve years, he has been involved in the restoration of the historic palace and garden establishment in Opole Silesia.

New times, new challenges - we are building an urban ecosystem!

The city treated as a biotope, that is, a non-living part of the ecosystem, and the introduction of plants into its space as an element that begins the process of “colonization” of the city by the living elements of the ecosystem, plants, insects, small animals and birds. It is no longer strange in the world to treat buildings in this way, where green facades of various types, and a variety of green roof systems, allow buildings to be treated as scaffolding that is overgrown with vegetation. The next stage is the creation of entire urban ecosystems from a combination of various elements of urban greenery – parks, intensively greened streets and squares, as well as elements of greenery on buildings. Of course, this requires a change in the approach to urban greenery. The decorative element, still obviously important, is giving way to the natural elements and the importance in reducing rapidly advancing climate change. This requires not only a change in the perspective of looking at greenery in the city, but also a reevaluation of priorities in its formation, and in the formation of policies of units dealing with the subject in cities.

Green areas of the future

Cities of the future will be plagued by climate change issues, making them more challenging development environments on the one hand, but also places where humanity and nature can coexist. Indeed, the presence of nature can play a key role in making a city a better place to live. Recent developments in both planting design and substrate use technology are changing the way we think about urban planting. We are looking at different strategies, with a particular focus on how nutrient-poor environments can support the widest range of plant and wildlife diversity.

Small garden - big space - how is it possible?

Designing small gardens is no small challenge, because in a small area we must try to respond to as many needs and dreams of users as possible. Therefore, many times we have to resort almost to magic or at least illusion. Planting plants in layers, micro transitions, shifting accents away from the center, or paving geometry that creates a strong texture are just a few of the tricks that will help create the impression that the garden is larger. During the lecture we will learn, for example. That less is not always more. How to effectively fill the space of a small garden? How to combine functions and home space in the garden and all this with consideration for the senses, specific plant species and concern for the surrounding environment.

Garden as an extension of the house

The secret to a successful garden design, is to design it in such a way that it blends seamlessly with the interior of the house, highlights the unique architecture and blends in with the surrounding natural landscape. With a good concept and analysis of view axes, openings and closings, we can make the landscape just outside the windows, like a living picture that changes with the seasons, from which you will not be able to take your eyes off.

The Romaniuk Studio team will tell how it designs complex garden settings for exceptional investors, their families and friends, creating extraordinary garden interiors and functional terraces that become a great extension of the house.
