This is what a natural solution for a private garden can look like.

When you start to see nature, your own garden, with different eyes, a new world opens up.
That's what presenter Natalie Cusimano from Markt Schwaben says.
Markt Schwaben
- "(G)ARTENPROTECTION - Conversations with experts about gardening in the climate crisis": This is the name of the first forum for nature and sustainability, to which the active group invites you to next Thursday, February 29th, in the Unterbräu Citizens' Hall.
Admission is from 7 p.m., the program starts at 7:30 p.m. (admission is free).
Local climate crisis
The climate crisis is also affecting gardening.
How do we design our gardens and green spaces so that plants, insects, birds, hedgehogs and people feel equally comfortable in them?
How can we make a big difference with small improvements?
In order to answer these and other questions, the Nature and Sustainability Active Group is inviting experts and an interested audience to an evening event with a panel discussion and ten information stands in the Unterbräusaal for the first time.
Experts on the podium
On the podium: Prof. Dr.
Hanno Schäfer.
He researches how plant species arise in the course of evolution, how they come together in plant communities, and what influence pollinators, seed dispersers and, last but not least, humans play.
His research focuses on the cucurbit family and the flora of the Azores archipelago.
After studying biology at the universities of Würzburg and Regensburg, he received his doctorate in 2003 with a thesis on the flora of the Azores.
After time in Munich, London and the USA, he moved to the professorship for plant biodiversity at the Technical University of Munich in Freising in 2012.
impoverishment in nature
“The biodiversity crisis in Bavaria and worldwide is progressing unabated.
Insect and bird deaths are direct consequences of the impoverishment of our flora.
If we want to slow down species extinction, we have to start with plants.
“But it’s not enough to mow the lawn less and create flowering areas in the garden.
We must change our consumer behavior and promote agriculture that leaves room for wild plants and their pollinators.
We should also tolerate “wild corners” in which plant and animal life can develop freely.”

Gardening close to nature
Also on the podium: Dr.
Andreas Fleischmann.
He is a scientist at the Botanical State Collection in Munich and a private lecturer in systematic botany at the LMU Munich.
His research area is plant-animal interactions, especially on pollination biology and carnivorous plants.
He has also been an enthusiastic natural gardener for many years.
His credo: “Even in a small garden or on a balcony, you can help native insect species through natural gardening and the use of native plants instead of highly cultivated ornamental plants.
Since the area of private gardens and public green spaces is larger than the area of all nature reserves, we can also achieve something in this area if more people allow nature and some wilderness in their gardens.”
Older trees are very important
Alexander Ferres, district advisor for horticulture and land conservation at the Lower Nature Conservation Authority of the Ebersberg District Office, will give a short keynote speech on the subject of trees.
He says: “Older trees not only fulfill important ecological functions in urban areas, but they also cool and shade the surrounding area.
A replanted tree only achieves this performance after 60 to 70 years.
That’s why we should care so much about preserving older trees.”
The presenter Natalie Cusimano from Markt Schwaben conducted research as a biologist at the LMU Munich.
She is the organizer of the Nature and Sustainability Active Group.
“My motivation for organizing this forum is to provide people with exciting information to understand nature and to create awareness of the responsibility we all have towards nature, our home.
When you start to see nature, your own garden, with different eyes, a new world opens up: an unkempt garden becomes a natural paradise and the obligation to protect and, if necessary, replant trees is no longer a duty, but a matter of course that you even enjoy prepared.”
