Claudia Praxmayer und ihr Mann kaufen einen alten Hof im Chiemgau, um auf dem riesigen Grundstück Lebensräume zu schaffen, in denen bedrohte Arten Zuflucht finden. Die Biologin legt Totholzhecken und Terrassenbeete an, lässt Wildblumenwiesen wachsen und Tümpel volllaufen – und überall sprießt das Leben! Igel, Vögel und Fledermäuse ziehen ein, Wildbienen und andere Insekten finden reichlich Nahrung, sogar die friedliche Koexistenz im Gemüsebeet ist (mit kleinen Kompromissen) möglich. Dieses Buch zeigt, wie Mensch und Natur miteinander das größte Gartenglück erreichen.
