Biodiversity in castle gardens

Castle gardens are historic destinations where people can find peace and relaxation. These expansive grounds also serve as vital refuges for numerous species of plants and animals. For this reason, more and more castle gardens are allowing green spaces to transform into wildflower meadows, thereby promoting biodiversity and food sources for insects.

In Salzburg’s parks, for example, "wild corners" are encouraged to flourish, while wildflowers bloom on the Gloriette meadow in Vienna's Schönbrunn Palace park, providing sustenance for wild bees. Traffic islands along roads are also being turned into valuable bee pastures. The Austrian Federal Railways are transforming road embankments, green strips, and station meadows into bee havens, complete with beehives and honey.
