What's the deal with a lot of different species in the garden?
Together, Sweden's gardens occupy an area as large as Blekinge. With the help of a few sods and seeds, your garden can become an environment in which both people, plants and animals thrive, and you have contributed to the important biological diversity, because without insects, humans cannot survive either. Invite nature and your garden becomes an oasis. In this book you will learn how to do it and why. It contains lists of insects and animals that you would like to attract and tells you in a clear and engaging way how they help your plants thrive and not least how to identify these garden workers. Think that flower flies and ants can be so beautiful and important! You also learn how to plant in a way that makes the flowers bloom in turn and gives the insects food from early spring to late fall. Of course, there are a lot of fun projects in the book that you can build yourself to give the wild guests places to sleep, food and access to water.
