The principle of the natural garden

Natural gardens are – as the name suggests – always modeled on nature and designed in harmony with nature.

They change over time and also seasonally – the changes and dynamics of nature are important components of our plants. We focus on the individual character of the garden and design where necessary.

In a near-natural garden, we select plants to suit the site conditions, such as soil conditions and light conditions.

• They promote biodiversity, conserve resources and are sustainable, providing food and shelter for bees and other insects, hedgehogs and bats.
• They are beautiful places to relax and they also require less maintenance than conventional gardens.
• Plants are selected so that they are optimally adapted to the location
  and can cope well with the soil and climatic
  conditions.
• Preference is given to using materials that are already available.

• All plants and seeds used are insect-friendly.
• All work is carried out in a resource-conserving manner and regional building materials are used wherever possible.
• Wherever possible, open areas are not sealed and paths are skillfully integrated into the overall appearance of the garden.
• Habitats are created for many animal and plant species.
• Roofs and facades are greened with roof and climbing plants.
• A variety of water features are integrated into the garden.

We can all help to protect the environment and the climate and promote biodiversity – all it takes is a little courage to break away from our preconceptions of order. At ProNatur – die Gartenmacher, our philosophy is that nature has its very own order. Our task is to understand, use and respect them. This creates gardens that are close to nature – green, lively and surprising.

With our many years of experience, we are able to design each garden differently and individually.
