This remarkable natural garden is located on the Maas near Waspik. The meandering watercourse that runs through the garden is directly connected to the river and is full of life such as small fish, crayfish and mussels.

The garden has an irresistible appeal to children who are in the adjacent marina. They are always by the water and jumping over the rocks. That was exactly the intention, because the garden could be partly accessible to visitors. Great to see that it actually works in practice.

The garden also has a private part of the house, where you are surrounded by beautiful flower borders and gentle paths that invite you to explore. The owners walk through the garden every day and enjoy the seasons, the birds and the ever-changing light. Every day the sun rises on the horizon. How wonderful to start the day with this panorama.

It has become a unique piece of nature where people and animals feel completely at home.

This report was photographed in the summer, and later turns into autumn.
