Nature garden

A small paradise next to the visitors centre, in the middle of the Wilhelminaplantsoen. The nature garden is a piece of wild garden, where plants and animals find a place and where you can enjoy the peace. Come into the garden and be inspired. Experience the seasons and the beauty of nature. Playful elements have been added to the garden, such as winding paths, bridges, hills and a canopy of willows.

The nature garden is a living classroom in which the coherence of nature is central. Every year, fieldwork lessons and excursions with school classes are given here. The nature garden is freely accessible during opening hours. Excursions for adults are given on request. Contact us for the possibilities.

The plants, shrubs and trees planted here belong to the native flora; stinzen plants, annuals, biennials and perennials, shrubs and trees. The native plants have a high natural value. They attract many insects such as bees, butterflies and beetles. These come to the garden to nibble on the nectar. Many insects have a favourite plant to lay their eggs, the hatched caterpillars immediately have the right food. Birds are attracted to the insects and caterpillars. The litter layer is teeming with small soil animals. Mushrooms grow on the wood chips and tree trunks. The wood pile, stacked roof tiles and branches, offer (shrew) mice, hedgehogs, birds and insects a hiding place and nesting place, just as the pond does for frogs and salamanders. The location in the middle of the park increases the natural value.
