Natural garden in Kitzingen: A paradise for grass snakes and more!

Something is happening in Kitzingen! Sabrina Nitsche visited the couple Klaus and Ute Sanzenbacher, who have created a true gem with their natural garden. On an impressive 4,000 square meters, a former asparagus farm has been converted into a refuge for plants and animals. The garden surprises with a variety of habitats, ranging from a vegetable patch and a dog meadow to orchards and two ponds.

The two ponds are not only an aesthetic highlight, they are also true hotspots of biodiversity. Dragonflies, frogs, spadefoot toads and grass snakes feel at home here. The latter in particular causes a stir - the grass snakes that live in the garden measure between 80 and 120 centimeters. Interestingly, the Sanzenbachers' dogs show fear of the snakes' shedding and mark it as something out of the ordinary." [BR] reports that Klaus Sanzenbacher impressively describes the natural cycle of eating and being eaten, which has come to life in the garden.

A garden for biodiversity

The Sanzenbacher couple are not only dedicated to their own garden, their commitment goes far beyond the private sphere. They distribute wildflower seeds and shrubs in the area, promoting awareness of the valuable habitat that such projects provide for many rare and protected animals. These include the spadefoot toad, which is known for the strong smell it emits in the event of danger. This shows how important it is to protect such creatures, which are endangered in many areas.

The fascinating world of reptiles and amphibians not only fascinates garden lovers, hobbyists and nature lovers also get their money's worth. An interesting book on this topic, “Reptiles and Amphibians of Europe”, highlights the fascination of these creatures and shows numerous species, from amphibians to snakes to turtles. Information about the adaptation of these animals to their habitat complements the lovingly designed illustrations in the work, which is particularly recommended for terrarium enthusiasts and garden pond owners.

A word about economics

Elsewhere on the subject of financial markets, the Euro to Rupee rate has stabilized this month. Currently the price is at ₹103.64, which indicates more than just inflationary trends. The changes in these exchange rates are in turn heavily influenced by political stability and economic decisions in Europe and India.

The euro is now used by 20 countries, and its development since its introduction shows how sensitive exchange rates react to global market developments. Particularly in economically turbulent times such as those we are experiencing today, it is advisable to monitor the market regularly in order to take advantage of the best offers - whether when changing currencies or planting natural gardens.

With this in mind, let the Sanzenbachers inspire you! Your own garden can not only become an oasis of peace, but also make a valuable contribution to the preservation of our flora and fauna.
