Wild gardens and frog concerts: Grafing invites you to discover greenery!
The colorful garden world in Grafing not only delights nature lovers, but also attracts numerous visitors. Angela Wilhelm, 74 years old, has created a little paradise for herself in her garden at Grafinger Schönblick. There are numerous retreats for native animals and plants that thrive in harmonious coexistence. The graphic designer has managed to design her garden so that it offers a variety of habitats - from ponds where she can observe frogs to lush flowering plants that in turn support biodiversity. This is how merkur.de explains it.
What is special about Wilhelm’s garden? She forgoes the constant trimming and mowing. This benefits nature because it creates a lush, blooming greenery that lives with the wild charm. When it comes to her plants, she prefers the wild ones to the “licked” ones, which not only suits her preference but also results in natural beauty. After losing her boxwood bushes, she relied on blackthorn, black elderberry and serviceberry, which give the garden new living space.

The importance of gardens for nature
Gardens and parks occupy an important place in our society. They are not only places of retreat from hectic everyday life, but also promote biodiversity, as the Bavarian State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture explains. A natural garden helps to improve the microclimate and is an act of environmental protection - it is a place where people and animals can live together harmoniously.
To support this, it is recommended to avoid chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Alternatively, easy-care flowering perennials and mixed hedges can promote biodiversity. You can even plant vegetables and fruit on balconies using raised beds or large pots – all in the spirit of self-sufficiency and sustainability.
The open garden day not only offers insights into the diverse garden culture, but also invites you to exchange ideas and experiences. A quick look into the gardens shows how, with a good hand, you can promote nature and at the same time create a place of relaxation that is important for both people and animals.
