Bärbel Oftring: "Every blossom counts! Gardening in harmony with nature."

The diploma biologist and author Bärbel Oftring explains which native plants we can plant in our gardens to provide a paradise for animals. Birds, insects, and other native animals, as well as native wild plants, are facing tough times these days: sealed gravel surfaces, the use of pesticides, meticulously tidy gardens, and many other reasons lead to dramatic declines. While you may not be able to save the world in your garden or on your balcony, by choosing the right plants, creating small structures, and practicing nature-friendly gardening, you can make an important contribution to the preservation of biodiversity. You will learn why this is vital and how to do it from diploma biologist and author Bärbel Oftring. To date, she has published over 150 non-fiction books for children and adults, all dealing with flora and fauna. In her lectures, she conveys with heartfelt passion and scientific understanding the importance of native nature for us humans and what we can do for the local animal and plant life in our gardens and surroundings.
