Insect & animal-friendly garden - ecological,
lively, sustainable
An insect and animal-friendly garden is much more than a green paradise for bees, butterflies and birds – it is an active contribution to greater biodiversity, climate resilience and sustainable garden enjoyment. Modern, near-natural concepts combine flowering plants, wild perennials and structurally rich habitats with low-maintenance design. bluegardens can put you in touch with experienced specialist companies throughout Europe who can enhance your garden in a targeted, ecological way. From species-rich wildflower meadows and microhabitats such as deadwood, sand lenses and mini ponds to nesting sites and natural retreats for small animals – every measure is integrated aesthetically and functionally without having to sacrifice clean lines or modern design. The result: a garden that offers new experiences of nature in every season, remains easy to maintain and delights people and animals alike.
Creating living spaces - close to nature and integrated in design
Flowering plants for all seasons
Early bloomers such as crocuses, summer flowers such as viper’s bugloss, fall bloomers such as asters and attractive wild shrubs all year round (e.g. cornelian cherry, weigelie).
Microhabitats for animals
Piles of dead wood, dry stone walls, insect hotels and mini ponds as retreats for wild bees, hedgehogs, lizards and birds.
Wildflower meadows & islands
Annual and perennial mixtures; low maintenance, maximum ecological benefit; conversion of lawns possible.
Flowering herb islands & structural plants
Herbs such as marjoram, sage and thyme provide food for insects as well as attractive splashes of color.
Design & function
Clear bed edges, structured areas and modern paths – ecological added value without a “wilderness” effect.
