In de Boomgaard Kleurt je seizoen (In the Boomgaard, Colour Your Season) is a location on the Den Treek-Henschoten estate in Leusden, run by Marieke Nolsen. She offers atmospheric flower workshops and courses inspired by the season. During the courses, participants learn to create flower arrangements in a natural way, gathering the materials themselves. Materials are provided for the workshops. The approximately 1600 m² garden, which can be visited in groups by appointment, is designed as a picking garden. There are borders with perennials and shrubs, and flowers, berries, and greenery are grown for floral arrangements. Specific examples include malus apple trees, rosehip varieties, ivy berries, and hydrangeas. In addition, various books and online content are available about Marieke’s picking garden and flower arrangements.
