Biodiversity Day – give nature a place in your garden

During Biodiversity Day, we reflect on the enormous variety of plants, animals, and insects around us. You too can contribute to an environment in your own garden where more species can find food, shelter, and suitable nesting spots.

At Stalen Design, we combine a love for nature with Dutch design. In our collection, you will find bee hotels, bird feeders, and nesting boxes that not only make your garden more beautiful but also more attractive to animals.

Greater biodiversity starts in your own garden

A biodiverse garden does not need to be large or complicated. Flowering plants, shrubs, water, natural hiding places, and suitable nesting options can all make a big difference.

Consider, for example:

• A bee hotel near flowering plants
• A birdhouse or nesting box in a quiet spot
• A bird feeder for extra food
• More flowers, herbs, and various plant species
• Sheltered corners where animals can find rest

By offering different types of food and shelter, you make your garden more attractive to birds, bees, and other small garden animals.

Bee hotels for wild bees

Wild bees play an important role in the pollination of flowers and plants. With a bee hotel, bee house, insect hotel, or nesting aid for bees, you give solitary bees a place where they can lay their eggs.

The bee hotels from Stalen Design combine oak with corten steel and are designed as both functional and decorative elements for the garden.

Preferably place a bee hotel in a sunny and sheltered spot, with sufficient flowers and plants in the vicinity.

Make your garden more attractive to birds

Birds also contribute to a lively garden. With a bird feeder, feeding house, birdhouse, or nesting box, you can offer various bird species additional reasons to visit your garden.

A bird feeder provides a permanent feeding spot, while a nesting box can offer a sheltered nesting opportunity.

By combining multiple elements, you can make your garden attractive to birds throughout different seasons.

Nature and Dutch design

A product that contributes to a lively garden does not have to be a traditional garden accessory. Our designs are made to become part of your garden's aesthetic.

Corten steel develops its characteristic warm rust color outdoors and combines beautifully with greenery, wood, and stone. As a result, our garden products fit into both modern and natural gardens.

Stalen Design products are designed and produced in the Netherlands, with an eye for material, form, and functionality.

Give biodiversity space

Use Biodiversity Day as an excuse to look at your garden in a different way. Every garden, large or small, can offer space to birds, wild bees, and other animals.
