Mein Gartenbaum - klimarobust und klimaschützend

Every garden should have at least one tree! Native species that withstand drought and high temperatures. Trees and shrubs have a climate-stabilizing effect. Gardening tips for your own little tree nursery.

More large trees, more house trees, more hedges in residential areas! Plant trees and large shrubs for your own well-being and the benefit of the community, and let them grow tall and old, so that plenty of wood in the form of trunks, strong branches, and roots develops.

A garden without at least one tree is not a proper garden. Trees evoke emotions, engage the senses, provide coolness and shade. They improve the air and enrich it with oxygen. They also serve as habitats for many animals, especially birds. The term "welfare effect" summarizes these benefits. This includes the role of trees and forests as carbon sinks, which is particularly relevant in times of climate change. Trees and shrubs store carbon in their wood, thus contributing to climate stabilization.

A garden rich in trees is desirable not only for ecological reasons but also has high aesthetic appeal and experiential value. With the necessary knowledge of the growth characteristics and site requirements of woody plants, gardens can be designed with great interest. The author focuses on native species that withstand drought and high temperatures, complemented by a selection of gardening recommendations from nurseries featuring climate-stable species and varieties from other regions of the world. Robust fruit trees are also included. Design examples with shrubs and perennials that thrive in the shade of trees, along with practical gardening advice for your own little tree nursery, complete this book enriched with extensive practical knowledge.
