Discover a natural garden: exhibition to save biodiversity!

There is an exciting event in the heart of Munich that will delight nature lovers and garden lovers alike: next Wednesday, June 4th, at 4 p.m., the exhibition “Discover Natural Garden” will open its doors in the Neuperlacher Mitmachgarten. Not only is the beauty of nature appreciated here, but the important issue of biodiversity is also brought into focus. [Wochenanzeiger] reports that the exhibition offers significant insights into the creation and maintenance of natural gardens.

The Neuperlach interactive garden, which stretches between a shopping center and a school building, was developed with a lot of dedication by students and neighbors. Admission to this informative event is free, and visitors can look forward to a variety of photographs and informative texts illustrating the natural garden concept. A central theme will be “biodiversity as a basis for life,” which emphasizes protecting biodiversity and creating habitats for insects, birds and other animals.

Create living spaces in your own garden

But how can we become a place of refuge for many animals? Sigrid Tinz, author of the book “Heaps of Living Spaces”, gives helpful tips: You should design your own garden wisely! Healthy habitats for animals such as hedgehogs, ants or lizards can be created through simple measures. According to Tinz, natural clutter in the garden is beneficial for promoting biodiversity. Piles of stone, sand, wood and leaves not only provide a home for the animals, but also make the garden more exciting and diverse.

An important aspect is to think about which animals you want to attract in order to create the right environment. While bumblebees enjoy lavender and wildflowers, beetles and mushrooms rely on dead wood. In addition, an old sandbox can be converted into a true paradise for beetles, as many wild bees like to nest in loose sand.

Part of a larger movement

The preservation of biodiversity is an urgent issue in Germany. According to current studies, more than 5% of species are already extinct or considered “lost,” while almost 30% are classified as endangered. This is precisely where gardens can make a crucial contribution. [Plantura] highlights that even small garden areas can help preserve biodiversity by using native plants and avoiding pesticides. It is also essential to create habitats for beneficial insects, for example through nesting aids or insect hotels.

The exhibition in the Neuperlach hands-on garden is an excellent opportunity to learn more about these important topics and to collect concrete ideas for your own garden design. Structured and diverse planting not only ensures a beautiful appearance, but also provides a home for many species. Take the chance to stop by on June 4th and get inspiration for your own little natural garden!
