Everywhere one reads currently in the garden magazines that it is important to reserve at least one corner in the garden for the 'wild growth'. Many wild plants are extremely important food plants for useful insects such as bees, bumble bees, butterflies and the others. Of course, you can leave this wild corner of the garden to yourself, but of course you can also create it a bit by sowing good food plants there. Many wildflowers and wild herbs have a high ornamental value and can enrich the garden optically.
