In the case of a Family Allotment Garden with more than 400 individual plots, the maximum grant is determined by multiplying the number of plots by PLN 250. However, it may not exceed PLN 150,000.

- installing green roofs on existing buildings, together with the necessary infrastructure for maintaining the greenery;
- creating or renovating so-called green walls, provided that the historic urban landscape is preserved and visibility for road and pedestrian traffic is not obstructed;
