With the right choice of plants, you can welcome the wild bees, honey bees, ladybugs, many, many other insects and the whole variety of birds on the 6th floor — as I do in the middle of Berlin — even on the 8th or even 10th floor. I even have squirrels, in 2019 and 2020 young squirrels have grown up here. They are more or less self-sufficient. But having these experiences, these experiences of nature, that is what is so exciting, grounding and close to nature, which is so extremely valuable. In the middle of Berlin, with a view of the Berlin TV tower, Potsdamer Platz and the Memorial Church, I also harvest a lot, and recently the windowsills have also been fitted with balcony boxes with water reservoirs. It’s easy to do and brings so much joy, happiness and harvest: My biotope on the balcony — experience nature and harvest happiness in the middle of the city. In this book, I share my many years of experience and provide detailed instructions and practical tips.
It is very important to me that balconies are oases of well-being — for people and animals. With the right choice of plants, you will attract animals that will bring you great joy. Your green living room will become more and more a place of relaxation — accessible at any time without having to drive: My biotope on the balcony.
