Free garden advice
Is your garden ready for warmer weather? Our coaches are happy to help you make your garden green, water-resistant, and climate-friendly.
Garden Coach
A green garden not only looks beautiful but also provides cooling, reduces waterlogging, and attracts more birds and butterflies. And you don’t have to do it alone. Our garden coach will visit you free of charge, brainstorm with you about the possibilities, and create a simple planting plan together with you.
Disconnection Coach
You can also disconnect your rainwater downpipe. The rainwater will then remain in your garden, reducing the strain on the sewer system. This way, you have free water for your garden. Our disconnection coach provides free advice tailored to your personal situation.
