Discover the food forest and the garden 

At Over de Hobbel, the food garden (currently being established) and the food forest are living learning environments where visitors can discover how nature, biodiversity, and human activity are interconnected. Here, you not only learn about plants, herbs, and food production, but also about natural principles such as succession, cooperation within ecosystems, and insights you can apply to daily life and broader transitions.

Visitors can participate in guided tours, educational activities, and hands-on experiences, with a focus on engaging the senses and imagination. The forest and garden offer a place to observe, experiment, and experience—whether it’s planting a food shrub, identifying herbs, or understanding the dynamics of a thriving ecosystem.

By combining practical experience with explanation and reflection, a deeper connection with nature and the rhythm of the seasons is created. In this way, learning about sustainability, food production, and ecological principles becomes tangible, inspiring, and applicable for both adults and children.
