Project Heemtuinwatergang:
(Heemtuin – botanical
garden with native plants / watergang-
watercourse)
This project
is an example of good interaction between water board, municipality and
citizens. Together
with the people living in the immediate vicinity, the plan was drawn up at a
very early stage. In a number of workshops, the plan developed from initial
sketches into a beautiful design. Implementation of the plan began in 2009.
Additional
water was dug at various locations, and nature-friendly banks were created. These
banks will be sown with a mixture of herbs to create a colourful and attractive
bank. Trees and plants will also be added.
