Info
Transforming Lawns into Flower-Rich Meadows
For three years, citizen scientists explored how to enhance garden diversity through various methods. They established test plots to monitor flowers and insects. The findings from this 'FlowerPower The Garden' research will be presented on December 7, 2024.
Those interested in applying this knowledge to their own gardens are invited to attend the concluding day in Ghent. All are welcome!
