Rose Gardening Volunteers Needed

Working as a volunteer in the Rosarium of the Westbroekpark?!

For many years, a close-knit group of volunteers has been helping the gardeners of the Rosarium with the maintenance of the roses. This ranges from pruning in early spring (from 1 March) to weeding and cutting the faded roses to promote a second bloom and then weeding again. Until October 1, after which the roses rest.

If it rains we don't work and we will definitely go on holiday!

Not only does this work give a very nice result, but you learn a lot about roses and it is very pleasant. Work is done on Mondays from 9-12: gloves and garden tools are ready and you don't have to clean up the pruned branches and further garden waste! In addition, the gardeners give directions, so that everything goes well. A dream for anyone who loves gardening.

The Rosarium of the Westbroekpark is also very special. Every year a competition is held between domestic and foreign growers and the Golden Rose is chosen. There are 25,000 roses in 350 beds in the rosarium. There is much to enjoy for the rose lover. It is also very satisfying that the public appreciates “our park”.
