It certainly pays to be there this time too!

Op saturday july 22 we go out together by train and bicycle.

We start at the station of Bruges or Kortrijk and take the train to Antwerp.

We visit it by bicycle 'CAPTURES' in Antwerp : this is a unique ecosystem in Antwerp where work is combined with sports, leisure and urban agriculture… Chefs, brewers, baristas, coffee roasters, models, sports enthusiasts, digital jack-of-all-trades and sustainable initiatives found their way to the site. A new biotope has thus been created in the heart of Antwerp.

Then we cycle to it Provincial Domain Rivierenhof, also in Antwerp. There we get a tour from former board member Carlos Verhelst, who is now employed there.

We get to see the renewed rose garden, walk through a 140 meter long Wisteria tunnel, get to know 350 varieties of magnolias, 1200 varieties of Hemerocallis (daylily), and so much more!

To conclude we have a snack in the Rivierenhof itself and then we return home by train.

Contribution : 35€ per person (the rest is contributed by the guild fund)

You can register by mail to secretariat@webos-boomkwekerijs by 15/7/2023.
