This coming weekend you can visit at least 280 eco-gardens in Flanders and the Netherlands on the occasion of the Days of Welt Eco Gardens. It doesn’t even have to travel far, as ‘De Zoetenhof’ in Destelbergen will undoubtedly open up a wonderful world on Sunday 4 June for those who love nature and like to roll up their sleeves.

“With us you can discover how you can create and manage a garden in an ecological way,” says Philippe Vandewalle. “The first fruit trees and fruit bushes were planted in 2018, and meanwhile we have a biotope full of fruits for humans and animals.

“Many people think that you need a large surface to start with, but this is a misconception. Large or small, in the countryside or in the middle of the city, developing your own biotope makes no difference.

You don’t even need to wait until Sunday, because Saturday June 3rd is Monthly Participation Day. In the morning you’ll get theory and practice about building a flowering meadow and planting annual plants that can easily stand their ground in an edible forest. On that day the flower meadows would be dealt with. In the afternoon you’ll learn more about mulching or feeding organic material to trees and plants, and some preparation will be done for Sunday. “The growing season is in full swing and we never have enough on hand to plant pumpkins, olives, cucumbers, tomatillos, and sunflowers, among other things,” says Phillip.
