Ecologisch hovenier Loek Gorris uit Zutphen heeft een bij- en insectvriendelijke tuin aangelegd. Er is een grote vijver, een kruidenspiraal, een groen dak, veel hoogteverschillen en veel bloemen, groenten en kruiden. Eén van de motto’s van Loek is: afval bestaat niet! Bouwafval, puin en oude autobanden krijgen nuttige, nieuwe bestemmingen. De juryleden vinden dat Loeks vakgenoten een voorbeeld aan hem kunnen nemen.Locations:Netherlands-Western EuropeDate:14 Aug, 2014Credit:© Greenpeace / Ed LonneeMaximum size:3523px X 3523pxKeywords:Beauty-Bees-Close ups-Day-Flowers-KWCI (GPI)-Nature-Outdoors-Plants-Pollination-SAGE (campaign title)-Save the Bees (Campaign title)Shoot:Most Bee-Friendly Garden Contest in NetherlandsA jury consisting of Greenpeace and the national organization for hobby gardeners (AVVN) visits 4 candidates from more than 450 entries for the contest of the most bee-friendly garden.
