Heimanshof native garden

Heemtuin de Heimanshof is one of the oldest native gardens in the Netherlands. This landscape garden, of approximately half a hectare, was created in 1935 by unemployed young people as a job creation project. After a period of neglect, volunteers restored the native garden to its former glory in the nineties. The garden collects all the plants that naturally grow on the Veluwe. The grounds include banks with oaks, a fern corner, a clay pit, a flower meadow, a marsh and a wall garden. Even now, the native garden is maintained by volunteers from all over the country who come to work in this beautiful garden for a weekend every month. The gardens are wonderful for walking. The native garden is hidden on the grounds of the De Paasheuvel campsite. At the entrance, there is an information board with the plants and animals that live in the garden. There are display cases with nests and eggs and the garden has a collection of remarkable wooden growths from nature. There are two fifteen-minute walking routes. A wider path, suitable for pushchairs, and a narrower winding path through the garden. It is also a very nice walk for children.
