Gardens
Wind in de Wilgen
This pearl of tranquillity and calm is situated in the northern belt of Lelystad, in the middle of the biodynamic agricultural area. This place is ideal for having a lovely lunch, some real English scones and High or Royal tea, but also for an exclusive cup of coffee or tea. The ingredients are organic, where possible. The garden is laid out with English landscaping elements and is symbolic in its appearance. The plants along the footpaths symbolise man’s course of life from birth to death. The plants have also been selected on their added value for insects such as bees, bumblebees and butterflies.
