Home gardens, family gardens, balconies and courtyards are a valuable contribution to urban biodiversity. The privately managed areas provide a habitat for countless animal and plant species while at the same time offering recreational space to their users. The social and ecological value of urban gardens is demonstrated by a four-year research project conducted by the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL). The results point to key messages for dealing with urban private gardens in order to further promote their ecological and social function.
