Fancy a night in the garden? Gaze at the starry sky on a cozy mattress? Our hanging pallet bed is ideal for this purpose, especially because it provides enough safety distance between you and the insects crawling in the grass. Here are the DIY instructions for recreating it.

As soon as the first warm rays of sunshine appear, impatient hobby gardeners would love to immediately throw on their gardening aprons, pull on their gardening gloves, and plant the seeds for vegetables, flowers, and herbs. However, a little patience is still required. Those who sow tomatoes and the like outside too early won't get much joy out of them. Night frost kills the heat-loving plants before they've even had a chance to grow. So, it's better to get active indoors first and sow their favorite plants in a sheltered, warm environment. Mini greenhouses are particularly suitable for this!

The beginning of the year is a wonderful time for all hobby gardeners, because you can finally start growing your first plants on your windowsill. In addition to potting soil and selected seeds, you'll also need growing pots and trays. Today we'll show you how to easily make these yourself. The practical thing about it: You save money and resources by wisely reusing "waste" like egg cartons and toilet paper rolls.

There are many good reasons to make things yourself. It saves resources, sometimes money, it's fun, and you learn a lot. Now, at Christmastime, another point is added to the pro list: homemade gifts are simply much, much, much nicer than any store-bought nonsense. No wonder the DIY movement is in full swing at this time of year! There's a very special magic to homemade things because you've created them with your own hands and put so much heart and soul into them. Inspired by this idea, our book "Your Creative Garden" was published last year. With it, you can create colorful, beautiful, and practical unique pieces. With these DIY projects, you're not a consumer, but an artist. And in doing so, you can easily build your own world the way you want it!

As I was thinking about the topic of "upcycling," an idea came to me: What else can we do with our packaging once the contents are gone? It's really too good to throw it away! It would be much nicer to create something with it that will still be useful to me. So here are my ideas for how the packaging of STADTGÄRTNER products can find a great use for you even after use through "upcycling," so you can enjoy it for a long time to come!

You know them too? Those things that have been lying around in the attic for ages, seemingly useless, or sitting in the corner of your apartment, taking up space for absolutely no purpose. They're things you can't part with, usually because they still hold a personal memory, or because you convince yourself that you'll definitely need them again someday. Everyone has things like that. We have the good news: You don't have to part with them! Because today, using an example, we'll show you how easy it is to give these things a new use and breathe new life into them!
