Auf dem Balkon, im Schrebergarten oder im Gemüsebeet gedeiht längst nicht alles so, wie wir es uns erhoffen. Was tun, wenn der Mehltau die geliebte Rose verkümmern lässt und Spinnmilben den Fleißigen Lieschen zu Leibe rücken? Pflanzenarzt René Wadas schwört auf rein biologische Bekämpfungsmittel: Tinkturen aus Brennnessel, Rainfarn und Ackerschachtelhalm reichen meist aus, um die Pflanzen zu stärken. Und so manches Mal kann man sich vermeintliche Schädlinge auch zunutzen machen: An der richtigen Stelle und im richtigen Maß können sie durchaus Gutes bewirken.

George Forsdike ran a nursery garden at Shrublands, Suffolk, England for nearly 50 years, specialising in chrysanthemums and other cut flowers that he sent to Covent Garden to sell. Shrublands changed from a country manor house to a health farm, where many famous people came to rest and recuperate. George tells of his life, working quietly on the four acres of his garden, together with his wife Claire.
