Make your garden wilder – nature's little superheroes need help 🐝

Bees, bumblebees and butterflies play an incredibly important role in our nature. They pollinate flowers, fruit trees and many of the plants we depend on every single day. Yet their habitats are becoming smaller and smaller.

Fortunately, even small measures in the garden can make a big difference.

At Den Lille Hagen we love lively gardens with buzzing bees, flowering plants and natural areas where both people and animals thrive 🌿

Small things that help pollinators

Here are some simple steps to make your garden more insect-friendly:

• Plant flowers that bees and bumblebees like
• Let parts of the lawn grow a bit wild
• Set out water for insects on warm days
• Avoid pesticides
• Keep some natural areas with twigs, leaves and flowers

Even a small balcony or flower bed can help nature's little superheroes.

Flowers that attract bees and butterflies 🌸

Some plants are especially popular with pollinators:

• Marigold
• Cornflower
• Lavender
• Sunflower
• Daisy
• Thyme
• Clover

The more flowers that bloom throughout the season, the better it is for the insects.

Nature needs more lively gardens

In recent years, more people have become interested in making their gardens more natural and bee-friendly. WWF's campaign «Make Norway's gardens wilder» encourages people to help pollinators with flowers and natural areas in the garden. (WWF Norway)

It's not about having a perfect garden – but a lively garden 🌱

And the best part? A wilder garden often brings more life, more birds, more flowering and a cozier outdoor space throughout the entire summer.
