Why seeds and not trees?

Warum Saatgut und keine Bäume?

Studies show that species extinction is one of the greatest threats of our time. Monocultures, pesticide use, and land sealing are destroying the habitats of birds, insects, and other small creatures. Flowering meadows , on the other hand, offer a quick, effective, and direct way to combat species extinction. Here are a few reasons why we should create flowering meadows .

  • Flowering meadows provide protection, breeding grounds, and refuges for wild animals and plants. The more diverse the flowering meadow, the more species can thrive in a small area.
  • They provide food throughout their entire growing season. Numerous insect species, especially bees and flies, benefit from a colorful flowering meadow and a long flowering period.
  • They act as a buffer zone to ecologically sensitive areas, and the permanent and intensive root penetration of the soil reduces the risk of erosion.
  • Flowering meadows also bind CO2, often within a short time (because they grow quickly).
    • And last but not least: rare, endangered species can be saved this way! Power to the bees!
