Lectures

The garden in all seasons

In the winter months Hans gives the lecture: "The garden in all seasons" and during this lecture you will also get a look behind the scenes of De Vlinderhof.

This public garden was designed by Piet Oudolf and was laid out in the Maximapark in Leidsche Rijn - Utrecht.

The special thing about this garden is that it was created on a residents' initiative. Both construction and maintenance are provided by volunteers.

Dutch Wave

During the lecture, an explanation will be given about the complex planting plan and the method of planting. The presentation relates to the plant style "Dutch Wave". By means of many photos Hans shows how beautiful this dynamic plant style can be throughout the season. Not only the main bloom is captivating, but also the fall foliage and beauty of the decay.

On this evening he will also show his own work, which is inspired by the 'Dutch Wave' plant style.

Hans gets his inspiration mainly from nature. Using beautiful nature photos, he shows how the inspiration gained can be translated to the garden.
