Markus Gastl tirelessly tries to open the eyes of visitors to the wonders of our native nature in his 7000 square metre show garden "Hortus Insectorum", the garden of insects. If you throw out old theories that don't work and have the courage to break new ground, it is very easy to surround yourself with diversity, beauty and utility. You don't have to be satisfied with an average garden that can be found behind almost any fence, you can create your own paradise. The author shows this in a consistent and radical way, has been accused of being a crackpot and has won several prizes. The three-zone concept he developed is suitable for any size of garden and reflects the interconnectedness and functionality of nature's great example. The necessary steps in the creation and maintenance of the garden are surprisingly simple.
