Gerard Adriaan van Swieten Tuinbouwschool
Gerard Adriaan van Swieten Tuinbouwschool, Historical horticultural school in Frederiksoord, Netherlands.
The agricultural education building features multiple classrooms, greenhouses, and seven hectares of educational gardens for practical training purposes.
The school was established in 1884 through a donation from Major van Swieten in memory of his son Gerard Adriaan, who passed away at age 21.
The institution educated generations of Dutch horticulturists, with students known as garden hares residing with local families during their studies.
The facility remained the primary horticultural education center in the Netherlands until 1969, when operations moved to a new modern structure.
The school gardens undergo restoration by former teachers and students, with interactive walking routes developed by the Weldadig Oord Foundation.
