Attract beneficial insects to your garden

Garden

Spring

Birdsong, butterflies and buzzing bumblebees are something that belongs to spring and summer. The small animals become more and more independent, but we can make our gardens and balconies into green interconnected paths between city and countryside to improve their chances of survival. Attract these beneficial insects by planting animal-friendly flowers, trees, and shrubs.

Our most common pollinators

It is not only the "tame" bee that pollinates plants so they can reproduce and produce good harvests. Wild bees, butterflies, flies, and even beetles can also pollinate. Here are some of the invaluable gardeners we cannot do without., Have you ever stopped in a sea of flowers you know that it is teeming with insects, a bee buzzing by, a butterfly taking off from a newly blossomed poppy. Like feathers, insects move pollen grains from one flower to another so they can reproduce and develop fruit and berries. Every third bite of food we take is actually pollinated by insects. There are some plants that are pollinated by wind and water, but pollinators are always the key to a functioning garden.

Help the pollinators in the garden and get a larger harvest

Bees, hops, butterflies, beetles, and even flies pollinate almost everything we eat. Without them, we are in trouble - because unfortunately, almost all insects are decreasing significantly. But there is still time and opportunity to make a difference. Here we tell you how you can help pollinators in your own garden or on your balcony. A large part of our plants need extra help from pollinators, they are a crucial link in the ecosystems and provide us with both harvest and plants that can produce oxygen, bind carbon dioxide and ultimately break down into new soil.
