Canal Gardens Open Days in Amsterdam (Open Tuinen Dagen)

Open Garden Days Amsterdam: 17, 18 & 19 June 2016

During the third weekend of June, more than 25 garden owners will open their garden to the public. When the gardens were designed, in the 17th century, their purpose was mainly to be useful. On the oldest cityplans orchards, vegetable and herb gardens are visible.
When the inhabitants grew richer, ornamental gardens became a status symbol. These days however, a return to utility is apparent in the canal gardens. It seems to be a trend to grow fruit, herbs and vegetables again.
Open Garden Days gives special attention to this trend, by creating a tour past these gardens mentioned as well as the beautiful ornamental gardens and exquisite garden houses.
