What do we mean by native plants?

Native plants are species that occur naturally in our country and have adapted over centuries to the local climate, soil and wildlife. Examples include the pedunculate oak, hazel, daisy and knotweed. These species are inseparable from our ecosystem and play a crucial role in maintaining the natural balance.

Ecological value and biodiversity

The ecological value of native plantings is great. These species form the base of the food chain and support a wide range of insects, birds and other animals:

Food source: flowers provide nectar and pollen for bees, bumblebees and butterflies.

Shelter and nesting: shrubs and herbs provide shelter for birds and small mammals.

Resilience: because native plants belong here, they are more resistant to diseases and pests.

Balance: they contribute to a healthy ecological balance and strengthen the ecosystem.

Durability and low maintenance

Native species are fully adapted to our climate and therefore require less water, fertilization and maintenance. This makes them not only beneficial to nature, but also practical and sustainable to use. For both private gardens and public spaces, native plantings mean less care and more nature.

Application in the living environment

More and more municipalities, nature organizations, farmers and individuals are consciously choosing native planting. From roadsides and field edges to parks, gardens and green roofs: native plants everywhere contribute to more biodiversity and a climate-proof living environment. They provide more insects, birds and other animals, strengthening the vitality and resilience of our living environment.

A valuable investment in the future

Applying native plants to a green roof offers both ecological and aesthetic benefits. They increase biodiversity, beautify the living environment and contribute to a more sustainable future. By consciously choosing native species on green roofs, we invest in healthy ecosystems that are more resilient to the challenges of climate change.
