Volunteers Wanted: For the weekly garden maintenance of the Stijltuin at Huize Frankendael

Do you love gardening and would you like to be part of a team of volunteers who are committed to making the Stijltuin at Huize Frankendael a beautiful, peaceful and inspiring place?

Lynn Shore and Tamara Last (who speak English and Dutch) are looking for enthusiastic and dedicated volunteers to help maintain and improve this well-known garden. We will mainly work in the Stijltuin itself and also keep the woodland areas next to it tidy – all in keeping with the elegance and heritage of the location.

When:
Monday 09:30 – 14:00, all year round.
(From Monday 2nd June)

What do we do?
General garden maintenance led by Lynn and Tamara. In the first year this will mainly consist of weeding and moving plants to fill in gaps in the borders. We will grow new plants from seed and cuttings. The priority is to improve the aesthetics. Lynn and Tamara are working with the Friends of Frankendael on a planting plan that fits the time of Huize Frankendael. So that we will soon have a style garden that fits in beautifully with the location and is a pleasure for all visitors.

Who are we looking for?
Enthusiastic people, preferably with some gardening experience, but the will to learn and the commitment to make the style garden beautiful again by participating regularly, we find more important.

Where:
The Stijltuin is located directly behind Huize Frankendael, which is the home of Restaurant Merkelbach – Just inside the main entrance of Park Frankendael, in the Watergraafmeer area of Amsterdam Oost.
Address: Middenweg 72, 1097 BS Amsterdam.

If this appeals to you, please contact Lynn (lynn.shore@gmail.com) to express your interest.

We look forward to growing something very special together!
