More biodiversity in the garden means more life! After all, you never really have a garden all to yourself… A good biodiversity not only makes Mother Nature happy, it makes us happy too. So what are you waiting for? In honour of Biodiversity Day, we share easy-to-use tips for more biodiversity in the garden.
What is biodiversity?
The ‘International Day of Biodiversity’ was created to give extra attention to the most important issues concerning biological diversity every year. But what actually is biodiversity? The answer is actually quite simple, because a garden is never all yours. All sorts of things live outside. Snails that leave slimy tracks on the garden tiles. Or a sparrow that has found the perfect spot for a nest. Or a beetle that crawls cosily over a leaf. Simply put, biodiversity is everything that lives or has lived. More literally: the diversity of life. From frogs and butterflies to bacteria and fungi.
