Urban master gardener gives tips for designing a natural garden

The "Bocholt Gardens" campaign is currently taking place: Mini gardens can be seen at various locations in the city center. They are intended to give visitors incentives for garden design at home. A nature garden will be set up at the Easter market. On Wednesday, May 25, the city's master gardener Sven van den Berg will explain to interested citizens how to plant insect-friendly perennial beds and give tips on nature-oriented garden design.

The stand of the ESB Bocholt is located at the Easter market in the garden area that the ESB has created there under the motto "Natural Garden". The stand is occupied from 14-18 clock.

Citizens are also cordially invited to enter into conversation with the ESB about the maintenance of urban green spaces. Interested visitors will receive a seed mixture that can be used to transform an area of 5 square meters into a blooming paradise. This small gift was already very popular during the first exchange with the citizenry, according to the ESB. ESB leader Gisbert Jacobs and ESB tree expert Frank Wissing came at that time with 200 visitors into the discussion. Many people expressed the wish that some of the Bocholt gardens should make the city center greener, not just for a limited time, but permanently. Jacobs: "I also noticed positively that many of our stand visitors themselves wanted to do something to combat the depletion of nature and protect insects."

The "Bocholt Gardens" can be experienced until June 6. A video can be seen at https://fb.watch/dcptPowifV/.
