climate crisis is not only noticeable in our cities, but also affects the gardens directly. As the nabu have more and more gardeners have to struggle with dried vegetables or brown lawn. It is therefore important to select suitable plants and adapt care practices to keep gardens attractive even under changed climatic conditions.

domestic plants are particularly important in this context, since many thirsty plants such as hydrangeas or knight's spur could have difficulties in the future. Recommendations for the design of gardens for a better climate include the use of crater beds that help to store heat and moisture. The NABU also gives ten design tips to transform gardens into well -being for humans and animals.

The commitment of the "Nature in the Garden" initiative and the versatile offers from Die Garten Tulln show how important it is to adapt gardening to the challenges of climate change. Garden lovers are called up to actively participate in designing their green oases.
