Max Out Biodiversity

I have always wanted to max out diversity by planting an abundance of diverse species on our balcony .
It wasn’t easy at first to find out the right types of plant but  It’s worth all my effort after surviving the trials and error and now I can finally choose the right flowering plant that attrack bees/ butterflies /ladybugs and other insects.  I do believe that it maximizes the types of wildlife your garden can support and allows better adaptation to environmental changes.
  I bought this mixed seeds of field flowering plants available at the garden center and successfuly germinated them into a healthy seedlings.

Going wild with it comes to a biodiverse garden, a bit of organised chaos can only be good. That is what I noticed In the wild, an untidy landscape but looks  healthy , and this is exactly what I want to replicate in our balcony garden. This wildness is excellent for biodiversity and encourages all kinds of life to flourish . Come to think about how ecosystem and cleaner our air will be, and the more insects, birds and other animals will have places to call home. Just like this cute ring – neck dove, a regular visitor on our balcony garden.

I’m always fascinated by the beautiful polka doted Ladybirds, often known as ladybugs, they are important members of our ecosystem because they maintain our gardens free of aphids and other pests that consume our plants and harvests. I am happy to see ladybugs coming to our balcony garden not just to keep our plants aphids free but I enjoyed their cheerful colour.
