The benefits of wild plants as feed source für insects are well documented and abundantly characterized. On the other hand, very little data has been gathered concerning modern ornamental flowers, specifically regarding their potential benefit to pollinators. Furthermore, the appraisal of these modern breeds lacks standardization. Up until now, existing appraisals were mainly conducted by individual observations but without abiding by any pre-determined standards. Urban areas are gaining in importance as environments for pollinators. However a reliance on wild species does not mesh with the desires and practices of gardeners and citizens.
The objective of this project will be to evaluate the current bet and balcony product range, identifying its benefits for pollinators. Moreover, standards should be developed for breeding principles of pollinator friendly flowers.
The aim of this project is to support the competitiveness of regional garden centres with an innovative 'pollinator friendly' bed and balcony set. Furthermore, it aims to support communities and horticulturists in maintaining or even enlarging the pollinator biodiversity by means of interrelated pl
