Sustainable and free gardening starts with reuse. The most environmentally friendly garden is not created from new purchases, but from what is already there. You don't have to buy plants! By taking cuttings, dividing plants, or collecting seedlings from neighbors and initiatives like Meer Bomen Nu (More Trees Now), you give existing plants a second life. We also collect many seeds from wild plants and spread them in our garden. This way, your garden will grow and flourish without the need for a grower.

You don't need to buy nutrients in a bag. In the fall, simply sweep fallen leaves from the sidewalk into your garden. This leaf litter forms a nutrient-rich, natural layer of soil that soil life loves. In the summer, mulch with what you have left over: finely chopped pruning waste and (composted) organic waste from your kitchen. 

By reusing, you keep materials in the cycle and avoid transport, packaging, pesticides, and the use of artificial fertilizers. This way, you gradually build a vibrant garden.
