Holidays in the Garden

First of all, we, the Board of the Klein-Schreuder Foundation, wish all friends of the garden happy holidays. The garden will be open during the holidays at its regular opening hours, Saturday and Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm. This means that we are closed for Christmas and New Year's Day.

We are open on New Year's Eve though and you can still catch the exhibition of three artists in three materials until 6 January. Make a celebration of your New Year's Eve or the day before Christmas, visit the garden and bring your family and acquaintances.

The garden is very attractive in winter as well. There is a chance that you will also meet Leoni and Arend who have been working as volunteers in the garden for many years. You are welcome to sign up as a volunteer on Saturday mornings from 10 am to 12 pm.

On the 4th of February we will open a new exhibition. Ton Spaink will be showing paintings under the covered terrace of the house. His wife Jolande will be exhibiting her work of alabaster, limestone and aerated concrete at the same time. There will also be work by some of her sculpture students.

If there are enough participants (at least 5 students per course) painting lessons will be given by Ton and sculpture lessons by Jolande on Sundays from February 11 to March 24: 'All Round Painting and Sculpture Course'. If you are interested in this, please contact Jolande (e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) for more information.

We have some beautiful climbing plants in the garden, including the pink-purple Amphilophium laxafolia that blooms for a very long time, even today. The Pyrostegia venusta and the Thunbergia grandiflora are just as special.

See you in the garden!

The Board of the Foundation: Johannes Klein, Johanna Schreuder and Manuel Casado Puche.
