Sow summer!

Together with Bijen Dichter and Ontfermberm, we will sow the summer in at Oortjeshekken on Friday 22 April at 10.30 am. That Friday is ‘Earth Day’ and on a piece of the verge of our route we are sowing summer blooms for bees and butterflies. A nice advance on our Summer Pilgrimage sponsor run for the landscape. Flower seeds and rakes will be provided. Participants will receive a bag of seeds to take home to continue sowing. We meet at 10.30 am (where?).

The Bees Closer Foundation is an initiative of five beekeepers who are committed to a thriving Ooijpolder and Duffelt. They inspire, advise and inform through public actions and the management of an educational apiary. During the Summer Pilgrimage you can walk in front of a bee tree that is managed by these beekeepers. More information: www.bijendichterbij.nl

Ontfermberm – Feldrain als Blumenhain is a cross-border Dutch-German initiative of people who clean up their immediate living environment, make it more beautiful and make it flourishing. Anyone can adopt a verge. https://www.facebook.com/Ontfermberm-Feldrain-als-Blumenhain-1547143642250414/?fref=ts. For the locations see this special Ontfermberm map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zVOePzi3sGyI.ks4kn7aqKzaM. The initiative will also sow seeds in Niel and Keeken this Friday.
