Count Björn Bernadotte and the staff of Mainau Island
"On Mainau we not only focus on a healthy lifestyle, but also on environmentally conscious mobility! With offers such as regular bike checks from local providers such as @indigo_fahrradservice_konstanz, bike leasing, covered bike parking spaces and e-bike charging stations (the latter can also be used by guests!), all employees are encouraged to leave their cars at home more often and instead to switch to the bike. And we were rewarded for this: The ADFC awarded Mainau GmbH the “Gold” certificate as a “bicycle-friendly employer”!!"
 
On the Mainau Island a "peace sign" has been planted prominently in front of the castle in keeping with the annual motto “Flower Power”. The Mainau gardeners have used this symbolic power of flowers: around 1500 colorful 'Tagetes patula' , also known as marigolds, are planted in a “peace sign”. With this Mainau is sending a strong signal for peace.
Countess Bettina Bernadotte sees it as part of her social commitment as an entrepreneur to stand up for and promote a society of democracy, cosmopolitanism and diversity, in view of the increasingly anti-democratic and fundamental rights-contemptuous statements made by political figures: “Our employees are coming from 42 nations, this diversity enriches us. Appreciation is a central value of our corporate culture".
The peace sign will be visible until the end of September.

In keeping with this year's annual motto "Flower Power", the Coat of Arms hall of Mainau Castle presents well-known and award-winning photo designer Josh Westrich's artistically sophisticated photographic works of art using the flowers from May 18 to September 29.
 
The UNESCO World Heritage Monastic Island of Reichenau and the Mainau Island are important and significant tourist destinations on the international Lake Bodensee. One is considered a vegetable island steeped in history, the other is known for its variety of flowers and plants - both are founding members of the Association of Bodensee Gardens and cooperate in many ways.

Mainau Island in cooperation with Steauf, counts Björn and Christian Bernadotte at a meeting:
"What a fantastic day yesterday on the island of Mainau! In front of around 150 invited guests, we, Stefanie Aufleger together with Count Björn and Count Christian Bernadotte, unveiled our new cooperation in the Gardener's Tower. Under the motto "Lili: Living Leadership" we join forces to inspire and strengthen leaders and their teams."

Count Christian Bernadotte at a meeting on Mainau Island, the cooperation with Steauf is going strong:
"Together with the writing therapist Marlene Jäkle, the team and organizational developer Claudia Franke, with count Christian Bernadotte and master photographer Heuser, we sat at the table in the gardener's tower on the #inselmainau. It was about future perspectives that could be shown in a playful way in the right context. The comprehensive insights into cash flow, pulse and pull effect came to light with the #STEAUF game. They gave courage and hope."

While I understand that Marianne's age prevents it, it's a pity that we're not getting the lavish celebrations we got for the foundation's 40th anniversary in 2012.
