Green paradise in Aßling: Mike and Jürgen create koi-pond oasis

Aßling, Deutschland - Mike Wierz and Jürgen Wehr created a small paradise in the quiet ate. On 900 square meters of garden area you have designed an idyll that is both aesthetically appealing and ecologically valuable. The koi pond, which is equipped with seven cubic meters of fresh water, glitters in the sunlight and is supplied with the necessary oxygen by a pumping system. "We have not regretted a day to invest in this project," reveals Mike, who is a real "garden man" at the age of 70, while Jürgen, who is known as a "man for horticulture" at the age of 58, masters the task of horticulture with a lot of dedication. Together they dedicate around 30 hours a week to maintain their green kingdom.

colorful flowers and diverse plants shape this green paradise. Above all, they are domestic plants that contribute to the good of the garden and thus also attract bees and bumblebees. This decision not only supports the local fauna, but also ensures flourishing variety. The garden has carefully plantings such as a large summer lilac and several perennials. Climbing plants rose around the pavilion, which was built from lantern masts, and give the area an inviting ambience. The lifelike decorative cats on the meadow also bring a humorous note into the garden picture.

a contribution to biodiversity

For Wierz and Wehr, promoting local insect population plays a central role. By using only domestic plants, make an active contribution to a bee -friendly garden. The BUND NATURGUNG recommends to integrate plants such as lazy tree, hardwall and slope that not only bloom, but are also of great importance for many types of bees. To bring the wild flowers to flower, mow lawns only twice a year.

A special strategy for attracting bees is the variety of plants. This concept is also supported by the city bees: The combination of early, medium and late bloomers offers insects food throughout the season. "We are aware that diversity is the key," explains Wehr. You have therefore also created a raised bed with fresh vegetables, where not only zucchini and cucumbers grow up, but also delicious kitchen herbs that are essential for the home kitchen.

sustainability in focus

The garden lovers also make sure that their plants do not need synthetic pesticides or peat -containing earths. "Biological diversity is important to us and we rely on natural crop protection methods so as not to endanger our bees and other beneficials," emphasizes Mike. To enrich the bee room even further, plan the construction of nesting aids - according to the principle that natural solutions are often the best.

On June 29, you will take part in the Bavaria -wide "Open Garden Turt Day". The duo is looking forward to bringing visitors closer to their passion for the garden and showing how everyone can make a contribution to biodiversity. "It is a pleasure to share this with others," said Wierz. Together they set a sign of sustainable gardening and a blooming future.
