The little city gardener – Between window sill trees and balcony strawberries

The Green Challenge - City dwellers in species-appropriate housing

Walking barefoot through damp grass, homegrown produce just an arm's length away, and while you breathe in the fresh air, a neighbor waves to you. No hustle and bustle, no appointments, far away from the noise and stench of the big city. That's more or less what it looks like. The romantic idea of life in the countryside.

Approximately 20 million four-legged friends, including 7.5 million cats and 12 million dogs, live in German households. In the warmer seasons, these animals enjoy being outside and enjoying the garden.

But be careful—there are plenty of garden plants that are poisonous to our furry friends.
