 <\/p>\n

Morning program<\/em><\/p>\n

Fresh vegetables for everyone!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting at 11:00 AM, we\u2019ll tell you more about the collaboration between Zelfoogsttuin Bij Mei and Stichting De Groentedeler. How did this initiative come about? Why do we love harvesting in this special place? And what are your options if you want to get involved? Together with our board members and Mariska Verhulst, founder of the garden, you\u2019ll learn all about it.<\/p>\n

After the introduction, we\u2019ll head into the garden where Mariska will show you how everything grows. She\u2019ll explain her method of cultivating healthy, organic vegetables that are good for both people and the planet. You\u2019ll quickly discover why the vegetables from this garden are so flavorful and why it’s such a gift that clients of Voedselbank Leiden get to enjoy them. There will be time to ask questions, connect with others, and enjoy good company. Because a place like this combined with likeminded people, a cup of coffe and the idea of fresh, healthy vegetables, naturally brings people together.<\/p>\n

Afternoon program<\/em><\/p>\n

Harvesting at Zelfoogsttuin Bij Mei<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Are you more curious about how things actually work at the garden? Then come by in the afternoon! Starting at 2:00 PM, founder Mariska Verhulst will tell you all about the origins of the garden, the crops being harvested, and why this way of growing food is so meaningful. She\u2019ll also explain why some veggies look different, but taste even better!<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll discover what it could mean for you to harvest your own vegetables here weekly and why the clients of Voedselbank Leiden are so thankful for the fresh produce donated by Stichting De Groentedeler. After the introduction, we\u2019ll head into the garden, where seedlings are sprouting and the first harvest is expected in mid-May.
This paradise for people and nature offers healthy nutrients, peace and space in our busy lives. Here, people harvest with their own hands, meet each other in the soil, and experience the deeper value of organic farming. After the afternoon tour, you\u2019re welcome to stay for a chat and connect with others.<\/p>\n
