Selbst ist die Pflanze

Flying, jumping, swimming, taking a taxi - plants have diverse and ingenious methods to carry their seeds into the world and conquer suitable locations. Geoecologist Sigrid Tinz accompanies columbine, bellflower, cranesbill, and primrose on their migratory paths, continually marveling at nature's inventiveness. The author entertainingly and competently demonstrates how these observations can be applied to relaxed gardening. Tested practical tips and plant portraits facilitate the site-appropriate selection and initial planting of recommended species, helping to guide the process. The offspring of self-propagating plants can then decide for themselves where to settle with a bit of direction. This ultimately saves gardeners effort and money, but most importantly, it provides plenty of time to assist nature in its development.
