Do you want your own vegetable garden box in the Tropentuin? Register in advance for next year’s interest list, because these vegetable garden boxes are very popular.
Hidden between the KIT and the Oosterpark is the Tropentuin. There has been a neighborhood vegetable garden here since 2018, with a picking garden full of native herbs, greenhouse, worm hotel, compost bins and twenty vegetable garden bins. Local residents, employees and tenants in KIT can rent a vegetable garden box to sow and harvest vegetables, fruit and herbs for a season. You can also donate fruit and vegetable waste to the worm hotel here, or participate in various workshops and events.
