Private gardens across Haaksbergen and Berkelland opened to the public on June 20 and 21 during the annual Open Tuinen Weekend. Organized by Groei & Bloei Berkelland Haaksbergen, the event allowed visitors to explore a variety of horticultural landscapes, ranging from compact urban plots to expansive rural grounds featuring orchards and food forests.
The event showcased a diverse spectrum of gardening styles, including specialized food forests and orchards alongside traditional city gardens, highlighting the varied agricultural landscape of the Haaksbergen and Berkelland regions.
Why sustainability was the focus
The weekend emphasized environmental responsibility, with many garden owners prioritizing climate resilience and biodiversity in their designs. According to the organizing body, participants were eager to share their technical knowledge and aimed to inspire visitors to adopt similar sustainable practices in their own outdoor spaces. The displays featured original designs that integrated various materials and plant combinations, demonstrating how aesthetic appeal can coexist with ecological function.
Samantha Carter notes that the shift toward biodiversity-focused gardening, as seen in this event, reflects a growing trend where private landowners act as stewards of local ecosystems. By opening these spaces to the public, owners provide a practical template for others to follow, potentially increasing the total acreage of climate-conscious green space in the region.
What comes next for local gardening
Following the successful turnout despite warm weather conditions, it is likely that future editions of the event may continue to emphasize sustainable design as a central theme. The high level of engagement between owners and visitors suggests a potential for increased community collaboration regarding horticultural techniques. Future organizers might build on this momentum by expanding the number of participating sites or introducing workshops focused on the specific biodiversity applications observed during this year’s tour.
