You could do it that way, but then it's just...that's right: unsustainable. (What did you think?). The postcard caught my eye when I first opened the book "Plastic-Free Gardening" from Eugen Ulmer Publishing. And somehow it describes quite well the struggle we feel every day with just about everything. Sure, you can buy pre-packaged sliced ​​salami from the discount store, sure, you can drive to work every day, and sure, you can consume until the doctor comes, but then it's just unsustainable. And I don't know about you, but I think that's important.

Bee protection is on everyone's lips. And that's a good thing! We've also been thinking about the topic more intensively over the past year and have come to the conclusion that we want to take action. Absolutely. That's why we've developed the "Bee Welfare" product line, consisting of seed bombs and seeds. But how exactly do we help the bees with this? Quite simply, we do it hand in hand with you!

And we, by collecting a portion of the proceeds and donating them every six months to an association or project that is actively committed to bee protection. Let's start with the "Bees Make School" initiative from the non-profit organization Mellifera eV.

It's super easy to make, so get cooking! Enjoy!

You've waited a long time: You grew your tomato plants from seed in February, watered them, pinched them, and kept a watchful eye on them. Your care finally pays off in August: The tomatoes are ripe! If you're strong enough and don't snack on the red delicacies straight from the vine, you can also use them to create delicious dishes. For example, "Hummus with Roasted Tomatoes" – a recommendation from our friends at KptnCook. Enjoy!

Limited space but big ambitions? Then our vertical garden made from a gutter is just the thing for you! It's disassembled into two or more pieces and attached to the wall. Ideally, you attach the gutter pieces to a wooden board and secure it to the wall. This not only looks attractive but also avoids direct contact with the wall and thus unsightly scratches. Have fun crafting!

A meadow full of beautiful flowers in your own garden is a dream, isn't it? But it doesn't have to be that way. Just a few square meters of space, or even a few flower boxes in the city, are enough to create small flower meadows that will boost your summer mood immensely. For you and the bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. We'll show you how:
