OUR GARDEN AND NURSERY
Our garden has been developing from a farmer's meadow since 1990. It started out as a collection of bamboos, but has since developed into an experimental "jungle garden". The profusion of bamboo creates a micro-climate in which all sorts of plants can feel at home, such as ferns, palms, camellias and so on. Are you bored with tidy, conifered suburban plots? Then it's certainly worth your while to come to Steenwijkerwold and to see our exotic plants and flowers at first hand. more >>

GARDENER'S DIARY SEPTEMBER
In wet weather you can transplant evergreens. Finish fertilising with an application of Pottassium and Phophorus (or even better, Bonemeal) to improve the ripening off of new growth. Remove the bamboo shoots that are still coming now, as they won’t ripen in time for winter.
