Seeds for a native wildflower meadow

Analyses have shown that the majority of conventional bedding and balcony plants are contaminated with pesticides and are therefore not suitable for pollinators. Based on this finding, the campaign therefore carries out annual analyses to determine pesticide contamination.

Flowers and plants not only fulfill aesthetic functions, but also provide an important source of food for insects and small animals. Plants treated with pesticides are therefore a treacherous source of food for these creatures. In order to consistently protect the natural environment from hazardous chemical substances, bedding and balcony plants must also be produced pesticide-free in the future.

The LUX mixtures from Wëllplanzesom Lëtzebuerg only contain species that occur naturally in Luxembourg. The organic cultivation of native wild plant seeds in Luxembourg is financed by the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, coordinated by SICONA and monitored by the MNHN. There are several mixtures to choose from.
