Sig­rid Tinz is a qua­li­fied geoe­co­lo­gist and con­ser­va­tio­nist. She has been working as a free­lan­ce aut­hor and spea­k­er on all topics rela­ting to bio­di­ver­si­ty and natu­re con­ser­va­ti­on for more than 20 years. She gives lec­tures, semi­nars for young and old and reads from her books. On Insta­gram at @kraut_und_buecher, she regu­lar­ly posts gre­at pho­tos and inte­res­t­ing tips for natu­re lovers and anyo­ne who wants to. As a mother, dog owner, cat lover, gar­de­ner and com­mit­ted con­ser­va­tio­nist, Sig­rid knows the chall­enge of com­bi­ning natu­re and ever­y­day life. Having grown up in the coun­try­si­de and now a hap­py city dwel­ler with a bal­c­o­ny and allot­ment, she knows ever­y­thing the­re is to know about gar­dening from her own expe­ri­ence. „Less work, more bio­di­ver­si­ty“ is her mot­to, and it is her mis­si­on to pass this on.

Lec­tu­re con­tent:

The lec­tu­re is about inde­pen­dent plants — how they spread and main­tain them­sel­ves. And how this know­ledge can be used in bal­c­o­ny gar­dening: for more rela­xed, spe­ci­es-rich, cli­ma­te-resistant, low-main­ten­an­ce gar­dening. Sig­rid pres­ents the theo­ry, which is the same ever­y­whe­re, whe­ther bal­c­o­ny, gar­den or park. Sig­rid gives many examp­les for bal­co­nies of how best to app­ly this theo­ry for more rela­xed, spe­ci­es-rich, cli­ma­te-resistant, low-main­ten­an­ce gar­dening. Let the flowers do it!
