Summary

Designing, creating and maintaining a 'picking garden' with various types of flowers in the Waterloo Community Garden in Driehuis.

Detailed description

Community garden Waterloo in Driehuis is approaching the end of its third season, and what a season it has been! Thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of the current fellow gardeners, the garden has not only become more beautiful, but has also been expanded with new plants and facilities. The community garden has grown into a beloved green oasis where residents come together to garden, relax, eat and enjoy nature.

The recent grant from the Postcode Lottery has enabled us to make even bigger plans for the next season. With this support, we want to make the community garden even more colorful and inviting by creating a flower picking garden. This new expansion will not only increase the biodiversity in the garden, but also provide a beautiful place where residents can pick fresh flowers and enjoy the fragrant, colorful splendor of flowers.

To realize this flower picking garden we are looking for new fellow gardeners who want to contribute to the design, construction and maintenance of this beautiful addition. We want to start the preparations soon.

Do you have green fingers or just want to contribute to this beautiful project? Then register via this page of VrijwilligVelsen, or come by the garden to get acquainted. On Sunday 22 September from 14:00 to 16:30 we have an open day and everyone can come in to look around, register or ask for information.

About Buurttuin Waterloo

Have you always dreamed of this?
To grow organic vegetables together with like-minded neighbors and eat them (sometimes together)?
To devise and organize healthy and green activities together?
To meet regularly and enjoy the garden, which is full of vegetables, flowers, birds and countless small animals and insects?

The Waterloo community garden is a special initiative that offers space to make this dream come true.

The former football field located behind the Pieter Vermeulen museum has been transformed into a community garden. In the neighborhood garden, a lot of work has been done on a vegetable garden, herb garden and a flower garden. There is even a beach volleyball court. The garden offers a beautiful space to meet each other, organize workshops, eat together, work, or simply enjoy nature on a bench. Do you have any nice ideas of your own? You are very welcome.
We have been given this beautiful place by the municipality of Velsen for 3 to 5 years.

Do you live in Driehuis and are you available for about three hours a week to actively roll up your sleeves with this neighborhood initiative? For only 75 euros you can share in the harvest that we will grow and distribute together.

Be welcome!
