Summer Gardens and the Importance of Water

Jun 08, 2025Chantal Kolleman

In the summer, it's important to pay attention to the well-being of both plants and animals in your garden. The lack of rain can be a challenge, but with a few adjustments, you can not only keep your garden beautiful but also make it a sanctuary for birds, insects, and other animals.

Practical tips for conserving water in your garden

  1. Drinking and feeding bowls
    Always ensure fresh water is available for animals. Choose stable bowls and refill them regularly. Our water bowls are durable and weather-resistant.
  2. Create shade
    Use plants, shrubs, or decorative screens to create shady spots. This helps both animals and sensitive plants stay cool.
  3. Use mulch
    A layer of mulch around your plants helps retain moisture in the soil. This reduces the need for additional watering.

How to attract pollinators in summer?

Summer flowers such as lavender, sunflowers, and hollyhocks attract bees and butterflies. Plant these flowers in clusters so pollinators can easily fly from one flower to another.
