Gable garden

Don't have a suitable roof? Then consider a gable garden. With a facade garden, you replace a few paving stones along your facade with plants. We provide these for free. This way you make your street greener and help collect rainwater. Together, we agree on the width of the garden, so that the sidewalk remains safe. You maintain the garden yourself. Does your street participate? Then you can apply for a subsidy for coffee and cake during the planting. You apply for the subsidy at: Neighborhood initiative? Yes please!
