Whether alone with a good book or in good company - here you can escape from everyday life, find peace and recharge your batteries.
Please respect the special silence of this place - sometimes it is enough just to be there.
Insect hotels
In the insect hotel, wild bees, ladybugs, lacewings and many other useful insects find a protected place to nest and overwinter.
Each hole, each tube and each cavity has its own function - like individual rooms in a natural guest house.
Our tiny inhabitants pollinate flowers, fight pests and contribute to the health of the garden.
Observe the colorful hustle and bustle in peace and quiet - listen to the buzzing and humming at close range. But please don't disturb them - the guests need their peace and quiet!
Herb snail
The structure creates different climate zones: Heat-loving herbs such as rosemary and thyme thrive at the top. Parsley, chives and mint grow particularly well in the lower, more humid areas.
All the herbs in this bed are edible and harmless - they invite you to sniff them with your nose, feel them with your hands and discover them with your palate.
A small, green wonder full of fragrances and flavors - and at the same time a valuable habitat for bees, butterflies and other garden inhabitants!
