Wildflower meadow as flowered area
Colourful diversity and pleasant buzzing and humming: This is what the flower meadow stands for, more than any other habitat. Be careful when choosing your seeds: The mixes available at DIY stores often only contain exotic and annual flowers. Besides: The lower in nutrients the soil is, the more diverse and species-rich will the meadow become. So: Get started and enjoy the bustling life that you will witness!
Tip: Add flower bulbs to your meadow. After all, seeing flowers pop up in early spring is wonderful.
