Nine dream gardens in the Unterallgäu: Naturgarten seal of approval!

Zaiertshofen, Deutschland - In the district of Unterallgäu, a special award for natural gardens was awarded. Nine gardens were given the seal of approval "Bavaria blooms - natural garden", the gardens who are in harmony with nature. The ceremonial award took place on the Herballandhof Spaun in the Zaierthofen district and attracted numerous guests. The district association for horticulture and state care Unterallgäu e.V., which recognizes the outstanding performance of the garden owners, is responsible for the award.

district chairman Alwin Lichtensteiger emphasized the importance of the excellent gardens for promoting biodiversity. In order to obtain the seal of approval, the gardens must meet certain basic criteria. There must be an ecological diversity, with the use of chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and peat prohibited. In addition, the gardens must also meet additional criteria, such as the design of extensive meadow areas or the creation of "wild corners", where there is hardly any care.
