The Veluwe begins in your garden

In Apeldoorn, we live surrounded by greenery. The Veluwe lies all around us there, but It simply starts with you, too at home. A A green garden is not only beautiful, but also very useful. Plants and trees help keep things cool on hot days. They absorb rainwater during heavy downpours. And flowers and shrubs provide food and shelter for birds, bees and other animals. By making your garden greener, you’re helping to create a pleasant, healthy living environment – for yourself and for nature.
