Free front garden landscaping by the Straatboer Foundation

Is your front garden now (almost) completely paved over? Straatboer helps WoonFriesland tenants create a greener front garden for free. Out with the paving slabs, in with the plants!

We’ll plant a green space of up to 4 m² for you; you’ll help out and then look after the garden yourself. However, our local ‘Street Farmer’, Raphaëlle, will return after 2 and 6 months so we can carry out the maintenance together once more.

So, would you like a greener front garden too? Sign up now!

Curious to see how this works in practice? Take a look at this video for an explanation of the procedure.
