Tapijn urban garden

The Tapijn Garden is situated right in the middle of the Tapijn Barracks grounds. Here, volunteers grow vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers using organic methods. In this way, they demonstrate how food and nature can find a place right in the heart of the city.

From barracks to city garden
Where military grounds once stood, a green meeting place has now been created. In 2014, the Tapijntuin was one of the first new features of the redevelopment of the former Tapijn barracks. Since then, the garden has demonstrated how nature, sustainability and social interaction have found a place on the site.

More than just a vegetable garden
The Tapijntuin is more than just a place where vegetables and herbs are grown. Guided tours, workshops and other activities are regularly organised on organic gardening, biodiversity and sustainable living. This makes the garden not only a lovely place to stroll around, but also a great place to pick up new ideas.

Always something new to discover
Anyone visiting the Tapijntuin during opening hours will discover something new every season. From blooming flowers to fresh vegetables and fragrant herbs: the garden shows just how much can grow and flourish right in the heart of the city.
