Give your insects a home

Insects like it native, colorful, varied and species-rich in the garden, on the balcony and the terrace.

Offer insects …

  • continuous food supplies from spring to autumn
  • hiding places for winter
  • native seed and planting material such as flower meadows, dry areas, wild perennial beds, herb beds, balcony, terrace and potted plants, greening of facades, flat roof greening, hedges made of deciduous trees
  • small structures such as piles of wood, root pieces, stems, wood carving paths, stone heaps, dry stone walls, foliage heaps, biotopes
  • nesting aids
  • small drinking opportunities with approach points
  • wild growth – rarely mow and if, then cut meadows staggered
  • garden soil without peat
  • plant fruit stands – leave them in autumn and winter
