Planting native trees, shrubs and flowers around the house is a trend. This not only shows that the residents of the house are proud of what is native, but also does something good for themselves and many organisms. The planted areas heat up less in summer, absorb water better and are important sources of food for bees etc. They also require less maintenance and are cheaper.

Together with the municipalities, the Pfyn-Finges Nature Park has already enhanced the ecological value of various public areas by using native plants. We offer free initial consultations for private garden owners and companies.
