We have already told you about the importance of attracting some good insects in our garden. We can do this in several ways: by planting trees and flowers they like or by buying some houses for bees, butterflies and ladybugs also perfect as a gift idea for your family and friends who love gardening.
Bees are at risk of extinction and favoring their presence in our gardens is not only important for the ecosystem in general but also because these insects are able to help pollinate the flowers, fruits and plants we take care of every day. . Ladybugs and butterflies are also beautiful and useful insects. The former contribute to the fight against garden parasites (since they feed on other insects) while the latter favor pollination.
In addition to surrounding ourselves with plants appreciated by bees, butterflies and ladybugs, we can attract useful insects to our garden by hanging special houses, a sort of safe haven for these small and precious allies of the earth. If you want, you can also do it yourself, but if you don't have time, here are some ready-to-buy ideas that can also turn out to be an excellent gift for garden and garden enthusiasts. Prices range from 10 to 25 euros:
