You can now view /review the presentations of the first webinar of the new cycle of the European symposium for the conservation of historic fruit and kitchen gardens that took place on February 23, 2023
After welcoming our new partner, SKBl, we had two series of presentations /discussions :
How to restore a late 17th century fruit and kitchen garden, how to make it relevant to the needs of today’s society ? By Jemima de Brauwere, manager of the estate of Zuylestein that her family is committed to since 1630. Please visit the Zuylestein property (near Utrecht in the Netherlands) video text slides. The usability of an engraving of Stoopendaal for the restoration of the kitchen garden of Zuylestein by Thea Dengerink. Bird eye’s view by Thea Dengerink and by Susan Campbell
Issues and questions when trying to adapt to climate change. Several European head-gardeners and gardeners helped us start exchanging on these issues with presenting three specific cases. We believe that we will discuss these issues further in the second cycle of the symposium : Vegetables at Audley End by Kelly Folwler and Gemma Sturges: video, text and slides; Trees at Chambord by Julien Billon: video, text and slides and Water at Glorieux Park (near Eindhoven) by Rob Plomp and Hennes Claassen (Dutch Headgardeners guild): video, text and slides
