New wildflow carpet for Schöneweide: promote diversity for insects!
What a spectacle in Berlin-Schöneweide! 🌍🌼 The wild bee show garden has turned into a real paradise! A flowering wildflower meadow is now being created on an impressive area of 100 square meters - and this as part of the nationwide week of action "Attention Biodiversity!"! It is not only a hardening here, the future of our insects is celebrated here!
Yesterday the Foundation for People and the Environment started with great commitment to this green adventure. This living garden on the site of the district association of Garden Friends Berlin-Treptow e. V. is an important project to promote biological diversity. Matthias Schüller, who has the supervision of the show garden, enthusiastically explains: "Wildflower meadows are complex in the first phase, but after the plants have gained a foothold, they hardly need any care." A real competition for nature and the environment!
a show garden full of life
Since its inauguration in summer 2015, the wild bee show garden not only shines through the splendor of colors, but also invites numerous school classes to learn more about the wonderful world of wild bees. Visitors can even take part in an exciting wild bee rally!
That was just the beginning: With the latest nursery, a special seed is used, which is perfect for our Berlin earth. Names such as meadow bell flowers, gossip pops and ordinary snake head promise a spectacular sea of flowers next year! A real feast for eyes and ears for all city dwellers!
alarm for the insect world!
According to the Federal Nature Conservation Office, over 25 % of our insect species in Germany are threatened with extinction. Terrible! An alarming number that shows how important such projects are. The endangered residents of our garden gnomes - the wild bees - need our support and attention more than ever! All of these monotonous gardens now have to make room for colorful flowers and lively world of insects!
With the rearing of this flowers and maintaining their habitats, the foundation for people and the environment becomes a lifeline for many species. Get to know the meaning of these small but enormously important creatures!
