About the friendly garden
A garden is of course not only for us, but also for our nature friends. We want together to ensure that gardens are environmentally friendly. That is good for plants and animals, but also for the people in the neighborhood. The environment becomes more beautiful, healthier and cozier. And with small adjustments you can already make a big difference! We have made four fun garden check cards, with which you can discover whether hedgehogs, amphibians, birds or wild plants are happy with your garden. Of course you can also check gardens in the neighborhood with your class if the residents would allow this. The more friendly gardens the better! There are approximately 56,000 hectares of garden in the Netherlands. That's three and a half times the size of Texel! And we have not even included balconies. When added together, our front and back gardens are an enormous habitat for plants and animals.
Garden inspectors wanted!
As a real garden inspector, you go through your favorite garden check card and find out whether you really are dealing with a Friendly Garden! Begin at the blue start and follow the green route to your goal. With every red outcome, the yellow exit will give you simple tips to get back on the green path! Yay! And for those tips you really don't need a green thumb or a lot of money!

How exactly does the concept work?

First, a sketch is made for the garden check cards.
And this is what it will look like.
And if your garden is friendly you will get such a nice sign.

Where will the bird friendly garden sign go?
Beautiful as a trio on the fence. A few small adjustments and then that fourth can also be added.
Or in the backyard.
