A richly blooming, attractive garden with which you can make an important contribution to species conservation at the same time? That's it! In view of the worldwide extinction of insects, more and more garden owners want to create survival areas for insects in their green kingdom. Cynthia Nagel shows how this can be done, using the example of her own garden, which she has transformed from a gravel desert into an insect paradise since 2005. With the help of her fascinating photographs, she presents the individual garden areas at different times of the year and tells entertaining stories about their creation, development and the arrival of the first insects. Along the way, she imparts interesting facts about biological relationships and lets the reader share in her wealth of experience. The inspiring pictures, numerous plant portraits and practical tips on ecological gardening invite you to turn your own garden - whether large or small - into an insect paradise.
