Month of the Green Garden from April 1 to April 30, 2026: Will you participate?

During the Month of the Green Garden from April 1 to 30, 2026, we will work together to make as many gardens, balconies, and streets as possible (even) greener and more sustainable. A green garden: doesn't that just make you happy? From April 1 to 30, 2026, during the Month of the Green Garden, we will share various green and sustainable tips. Transforming your garden into a green paradise has many benefits. A green garden is cooler in the summer and can cope better with heavy rainfall. With a green garden, you also welcome birds, bees, and all kinds of other animals. And you yourself enjoy everything that grows and blooms!

Welcome animals into your garden

Green gardens and balconies are oases in a village or city. Birds, insects and other small animals find food, shelter, and nesting sites here. A garden full of life is not only nice to look at, but also useful. Bees help pollinate plants. Birds, hedgehogs, and all kinds of insects help keep your garden healthy and free of pests.

Make your garden climate-proof

By climate change Heavy rain showers, dry periods, and extreme heat are becoming increasingly frequent. With a green, climate-resilient garden, you are better prepared for this. During heat, a green garden with trees and (tall) plants offers natural shade and cooling. During heavy rain, the soil can absorb and retain water more easily. This allows plants to use it later during droughts.

Take care of a healthy garden

Aphids, snails And other critters are part of nature. But how do you prevent them from becoming a plague in your garden? Ensure your plants are healthy and strong, so they can better withstand diseases and pests. And welcome natural enemies of pests: they help maintain a healthy balance between species in the garden. You can prevent weeds by, for example, covering the soil with plants.
