Discover the benefits of natural cleaning products during our workshop in which you get to work and make your own products. And immediately discover this cool green spot!
You can easily make your own 100% natural cleaning products using wild plants and their cleaning powers. We harvest the fresh ingredients in the Green Ass Garden and process them into all-purpose cleaner, clothes detergent and toilet cleaner. You can try them out right away at home! After the workshop you can enjoy and look around the gardens of Het Groene Veld with a cup of local herbal tea!
NB: For zero waste: if possible, bring your own recycled plastic or glass containers for cleaning products (small bottles and jars are useful!).

Would you also like to know what is in your care products? Then come and make them yourself! We pick the necessary herbs in the gardens of Het Groene Veld and process them on site into shampoo, lip balm and facial scrub. Pure nature, it's that simple!
Afterwards you can enjoy a drink at the bar and on the terrace and be amazed by the vegan delicacy menu of the day in the restaurant, which also includes fresh vegetables and herbs from Green Ass Garden.
NB: For zero waste: if possible, bring your own recycled plastic or glass containers for the care products (small bottles and jars are useful!).
The gardens of Het Groene Veld
Green Ass Garden consists of three spaces with different functions:
In the Vegetable garden with the Geodesic Dome as a greenhouse, we grow more rare veggies from different cultures from seed. In development is the pigment or dyeplant bed. Edible wild plants can be found all over the garden and are growing around the little pond.
In the Food Forest border, wild medicinal plants are growing together in groups which offer similar health benefits. Also edible shrubs, trees and mushrooms live together. Partly the mushrooms can clean polluted soil all over the Slibvelden. A sensory bed with crazy tastes, structures and looks is in development.
On Het Groene Veld, the area around the water basins is developing as an edible park landscape. On raised beds, veggies for the Machine Gebouw kitchen are grown and edible shrubs and trees are planted as well as "rescued" ornamental plants who find a new home here.
In all of the areas, we play together with the existing ecology of the land. We also love the wonder and surprise in sustainable experiments and green arts.
Skill sharing workshops happen mostly in the summer months and will be announced in the agenda.
